Its neat to see the "Starter" airplanes as well. Like you say, for someone just starting out who doesnt have a huge budget its all you need! Build time, upgrade as you go. Personally I really like the retro look. Always look forward to your videos, Rich!

Takes me back to my Civil Air Patrol days. We had corporate 172's for years, but they gave my squadron a 182 and we flew the heck out of it. Solid as a rock, dependable and absolutely perfect for our missions. That ole girl is going to make someone a happy pilot for many year.

I got to fly the 172 in CAP

Nice airplane, who ever gets it I'm sure will like it.

You could buy it to build time, and put it on Lease Back with a flight school, and it would “mostly” pay for itself, and in a year, you could sell it for as much or more than you paid for it originally! Or, you could put a jump door on it and start your own drop zone!

rich love when u show what the working man can buy me and dad flew a piper 180 for yrs and it was only 40.000.00 in the 80s great volge

I always enjoy your videos Rich!

Always impressing. I admire the special atmosphere in this footage. And the touch of nostalgia.

Would much rather fly cross country in the 182 then drive in a new turbo Porsche (which is more expensive) > stating the obvious for most here I gotta assume

Great review thank you

Great video .. my dad loved his 1969 182 great plane

One thing about the smaller GA aircraft is that not all need glass. I have found that unless the screens are large the smaller screens are crowded, where as you can just glance at the steam gauges and get the info just as well. There are some really high time cessnas out there so this is pretty good. Add wheel pants and gain a few knots still.

I’m a new subscriber and I always enjoy these thanks Rich. I sold my ‘78 182Q last year, a tremendous plane, enjoyed having it. I was waiting for you to do a power on stall so I could watch the nasty wing drop, but you didn’t, I wouldn’t have either.

Back in the 60's and 70's my dad was a Cessna and Piper dealer in Eastern Washington. The 182 was a top seller for us. A true work horse. Every summer we had 3 that worked for the Forest Service. In the fall we had a list of people waiting to buy one of the Fire Patrol aircraft.

@FlyingwithRich when my dad opened his FBO in 60 something it was called "Price Piper ". Mr. Piper himself even flew out in a new Piper for our Grand opening. We were buying the plane he brought also. Later down the road the Cessna Dealer at the airport (Felts Field) in Spokane Washington was struggling to stay afloat and my dad bought him out. His name was John Mifflin. My dad was nice enough to bring him on board as a Manager. I was born in 1955 so I was a kid and can't remember everything. I did get to go with my dad a couple times to Vero Beach to pick up new planes. I was in the 6th grade on a trip bringing back a Cherokee 6 and had to sit on my suitcase to see over the dash. I don't really remember but I don't think you could be a Cessna and a Piper dealer at the same time back then. My dad changed the company name to Price Airmotive. My dad was one of those guys like you that could fly anything. Those were such fun times in aviation then. We had at least 6 instructors training back then. There was a GI Bill that let veterans learn to fly really cheap....

I’ve flown four different planes in my life. None newer than 1978. Loved them all. Older planes cost less and work just as well as new planes.

Nice old 182, there is also RG version of this plane. Thanks for the video.

I have a 1976 182P. There is nothing wrong with the 430 and the STec autopilot for IFR. We have a 530 in ours and we put in a Trio autopilot for just about 10K. We love it. We hope to get rid of the vacuum system as we will soon have two uAvioniks AV-30’s.

I owned a 1972 C182P back in 87. Paid $18,000 for it and sold it 8 years later for $23,000.

That's a very nice 182! In 1972 I graduated with my first degree, and got my ticket. It doesn't seem like that long ago. 8). Since then I've flown some 182's with, uh hum, a lot more 'experience' on them than that one has. At least you didn't have to ask the 'big guy' above for help getting over the threshold on final to land. 8) The engine sounded great. Thanks, --gary

I'm working on my instrument rating currently in a 182P. It has all glass in it (G500, G750, G650, GFC600 autopilot) but that plane is ROUGH. The interior is trashed and the install of the avionics was not professional. It also does about 140mph indicated. But it's a really nice plane for $160/hr wet and $40/hr instruction.

best bang for the buck. for a 182.

There are a lot of pilots dropping out of flying because of the cost. go to a GA airport and just look at the aircraft setting with low tires and dirty. have not flown in years. Sad but true. Do enjoy these video's.

Can’t think of a better thing to do than learn to fly at your age. I have had several customers do flight training in their 70s - one got an IR at 76, another a jet type rating late seventies, and single pilot recurrent at 83. They all say flight training was the best thing for them mentally and physically. I would highly recommend it!

It seems like you need to be a better pilot to fly older planes. Is that accurate?

@FlyingwithRich

Different knowledge base than today based on avionics and autopilots. Did a lot more hand flying with no moving maps & GPS when I was coming up thru my ratings so developed those skills more than pilots coming up today.

And 10 years ago it probably would have gone for $50k.

And it’s sold 😂

How much did this aircraft cost in 1972?

VREF says $28K when new in 1972 so a 4 year old one probably took 50% depreciation from new so, my guess is $12K -$15K in 1976! Cessna was cranking out a lot of Skykanes in late 1970’s!

I don’t think G1000 an option but lots of Garmin retrofit options. You could spend $25K for some nice upgrades or $100K+ if you wanted!

None of the "cool" upgrades, but at $130K a solid airplane, but then it is a 182.

I want to meet those people who say "you don't have to be wealthy to afford an airplane" Just hearing this plane is the cost of house, do the people who buy these cheaper planes have money tree in their back yard?
