I did not. I got to CA in 2000 - sounds like a great memory!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thank you! Always nice to hear from around the world!

True on both. I agree - great addition! Thanks for watching!

Very cool place - love the RV’s! Thanks for watching!

It’s tight airspace for sure. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

I'm really not sure - I think they had something about it on the menu but I forgot! Thanks for watching!

Used to work there. The food is great if not a little pricier in recent years

Yeah - we don’t see many with the BRS. Thanks for watching!

172RG but that’s it.

Thanks - agree. A lot of airplane and avionics/parachute make it unique and valuable.

Don’t disagree with that - thanks for watching!

I think “zero” experience is a stretch, but who knows!

Maybe zero “formal” training? But no way, “zero” experience!

He lost com w/atc coming over the RW, then flew the 270 at pattern, lined up and greased it half way down the RW. In a turbine 208! We thought that was a real stretch for zero experience also. I guess if you believe in miracles, it could be that. 8) --gary

According to Dan Gryder this ‘hero’ knows the owner well and has between 100-150hrs in the plane. Gryder speculates it’s likely he’s been right seat for a good many of those hours and likely has many assisted takeoffs and landings. I found the most impressive part of all this to be the no flap landing.

I watched Dan's, and Juan Brown's take on it. I agree about the no flap landing. But if he was anywhere near Vne in that dive his pulling out of that was impressive too. He didn't rip the wings off or do any other damage. Even if he was a pilot, he kept a cool head and didn't panic. Seems there's just more to that story. --gtr

Not sure - I’ll check it out.

Sorry!

Clip is for charts, checklist, etc.

@@FlyingwithRich thanks so much. Looks like after market part. Was wondering if you knew what it’s called or how to get one?

Not yet!

Curious why you expect anyone to know the details about upgrade costs when they didn't install them. I understood he "just" received the aircraft, or am I mistaken? He's "selling" the airplane; he's not upgrading it. He did say the logbooks were "good." If you're really curious, if you click "more," there's website information. I'm pretty sure they are receptive to further discussion given the significant majority of viewer are prioritizing how much the upgrades cost for equipment in the aircraft. Just MY thought. Great video by the way. I also frequent your website regularly. Very informative.

@@Spec62 If you have ever owned an airplane, the money you spend on upgrades radically affects the value of the aircraft. An owner keeps a file along with the maintenance records of the upgrade costs, and who did the upgrade. Rich, being in sales should be very aware of the avionics upgrade cost of this particular airplane since it radically affects the resale value. Lots of aircraft that are 20+ years old are getting avionics upgrades. Any experienced pilot knows that a new avionics upgrade can make flying more enjoyable because of the easily understood graphical presentation of information vs. an old "steam gauge" instrument panel which requires the pilot to mentally interpret what a dial means....... Rich has flown many different aircraft. Wish he would talk more about the aircraft he is flying ---- The Cessna 182 is a very safe aircraft because in part of its' benign stall characteristics and low stall speed. On the negative side, the 182 has a slower cruise speed than more modern designed aircraft because the airframe is a dated design and is not as aerodynamically efficient when compared to another aircraft with the same engine size and fuel consumption. The 182 series is a great versatile aircraft that can fly in and out of short runways......

@@keitha.9788 OK. As an FYI, took me about the same amount of time to read and have you remind me that of which I already know than it did to actually watch the brief video. None of what you addressed had anything to do with your being upset because it didn't quote the price of the upgrades while flying. Yes, the Cessna 182S, unique in THIS aircraft is its $15000 BRS which takes 40 hours to install

Let me help. Avionics upgrades for all aircraft = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Are we clear?

I’ll try to include in the future. Don’t always know exact costs, but good suggestion. Thanks for watching!

I disagree with “rarely.” We have posted sales prices on almost all of the aircraft we sell. I have also tried to give a sales price on aircraft we feature on the videos as well. The only time I don’t is when we do the video before we have priced the airplane, but I always point to a website where you can find the price.
