Man, when I started flying, the KLN-94 was state of the art. I remember the Millennium edition Cessnas all had that and the KMD-550 MFD. Coming from a 1978 172 into an ME was like getting into an Airbus A320! Hard to believe Garmin changed the whole avionics game in the last 20 years!

Rich, I don't know if I've ever seen a better salesman than you. Upselling a plane based on ancient avionics. The only thing that I can think of that you missed is that you didn't call them valuable antiques. LMAO. Love your videos - keep 'em coming & stay safe. 😂

I was flying in Civil Air Patrol in the late 90's when we got a GPS unit just like that one in one of the corporate 182's. I remember thinking "man, how much better can technology get?" It replaced an old Loran unit and it felt like going from a Model T to a Ferrari.

Love that panel. Wouldn’t change a thing, well perhaps a better engine monitor.

The Ram engine conversion makes a difference because I know a owner of a Cessna 340 that had it done and he said it made a lot more power to climb to higher Altitudes

Another great presentation and enjoyable for an old steam gauges guy

These are the best videos ever for flight sim users. I fly X-plane 12 and try to duplicate real world flying. The power settings are especially useful in doing that. Thanks for the time and effort put into the videos. The videographer is great at showing the instruments like airspeed , manifold pressure, mixture and rpm. A great help. The auto pilot works just like that in X-plane.12 in the Beach Baron.

Really digging the new intro on the videos recently. Keep up the good work! Love all the work you and the team put into these videos.

Smooth operators! What a team.

Yeah, That Was Great! I've Been Watching A Few, So I Subscribed. A Piece Of Glass Is Nice If You Lose Vacuum But You Just Defined GA The Way Old Men Remember It! Thank You.

Nice! Keeping it real instead of ripping all the beautyful gauges out of the instrument board for two G1000 screens. That´s not how a real Cessna Chancellor should look like!

Made it to Casa Machado this trip. YES! Love that place. Then walk around the corner and pick up some goodies from Marvelous Marv. A great trip.

The only thing I would suggest is maybe give some more details about the actual plane. Useful load, actual cruise speed, range, estimated cost for some avionic upgrades if needed, etc.. Really like your videos. Keep it up.

Great video! I love the variety and the format, and those Chancellors are just beautiful.

I’m flying the C414 in MSFS. Love this plane.

28L at Montgomery Field. My very last landing. That was 25 years ago in a Seneca II. Seems like yesterday. Vividly remembering that restaurant also.

I’m having a hard time telling when you touch down! Smoooooooooth. 😎

I better not stop by, otherwise I might buy it! A perfect SoCal to Cabo plane. I wish a seasoned pilot like myself could rent planes like these! Lou B

This is my next airplane. Not a great Cessna fan,(not including the 172) but the 414 is so elegant to me and very affordable! Can’t wait!

The short rounded nose on many 401s is so much better looking than the long, pointy 421 noses.

insanity. can't wait for the aviation market to get back to reality.

I like the old school panel all day

It's fun get off ground for a while, but it's always fun to hear those tires chup on the runwa

good landing my friend. love the videos keep it up

There is something always to be said about not having a single point of failure. New glass panels are excellent when they work, when they fail you wish you had your steam gauges back. That being said, I've always been comfortable with a perfect mix of both in GA. Fly the plane. Really nice aircraft.

Looking very good..Thank you for sharing..

Ah Rich, You're making me hungry for Casa Machado. I always eat there when I have a chance. Their food is the best.

Thanks Rich, Nice looking bird

Thank you 🙏

Engines sound great.

Yea I had a little bit of a learning curve, learned on steam gauges, instrument rating on glass and never went back. BFR time I decide to get retract experience in a old Mooney, flying VFR was fine, under the hood…… not so good…..but a good lesson that you need to be proficient in the equipment your flying……

We all know that older avionics are sexier than the Glass panels

Oh for a GTN 750!

He flying with NES 8 but control board. The old 6 pack.

"And this is actually an IFR GPs..." lol 😆

i love the videos but i just gotta know, what do you normally have the gopros equipped to? i see in some videos it looks like a housing wrapping around most of the gopro, is it to help the battery or something? anyways loved this video as well as all the others!

Great job all around, and good message with equipment differences. KX/KLN vs G1000/etc is somewhat analogous to: you should speak both iOS and Windows/Android. Just be open to adaptability.

Reminds me of the one where an elderly gentleman en route to a public speech crashed into a house that engine sound is very distinct and it's kinda haunting to me. Because people were criticizing the man because he seemed rude when filing his flight plan but it was just because he couldn't hear well. It was sad to watch anyway sorry for the downer but enjoy watching you fly there sir. Be safe out there brother.

Speaking of monkey field. Lol You ever go to that restaurant on the north side of the runway, had a french farm house look with a WWI aviation theme? Is it still there? Always loved going there and seeing those scale biplanes. Haven't been there in 20 years or more. Been in Vegas for the last 12. I did a little flying in and out of there and Gillespie in El Cajon. That's been over 30 years.

Thats a beautiful aircraft

Nice airplane

Sweet Cadi

What makes your channel fun to watch is the variety of airplanes you fly. You know Jerry Wagner from Air Wagner he flies a 414 out of Auburn just curious. See you on the next one.

Call me Rich !!! One day we will do a deal and I love the 414s

A light piston twin won’t always kill you…… but they do with a regular frequency 😂😂😂

Where is the avionics up grade. Is the cabin even pressurized.

New sub! Liked 🙏👍😃☀️😀

ya rich havent seen u in a while john from sandiego....

What's the highest that baby can go

Hi good videos. Just why are you flying with different rpms in the props? 2.800 vs 2.300?

Hello Rich, I love the content. I think the Cessna 414A and 421 are real gems. Can you tell me if it's big enough for tall people? I'm 6'4" and 240 pounds. Thanks

do you actively listen for your plane number on headset while you do everything else? I'm confused as to how you know they are talking you👀🤔

Is it still for sale and how much

Hey rich have you ever flown a pilatus pc-12?

Did you say those engines have only had 50 hours since 2016?

Shes a beauty

Ice.

Terrible starting music…good flight.

Sell it to me $$$ mike
