Beautiful aircraft! Mike, I wanted to let you know that my son is really enjoying his training at Look Up Flight Academy and we are seeing him thrive and his confidence grow like we’ve never seen before. Thanks for all you do!
Can you imagine putting 6 adults in this plane and thinking you're going to take off with enough gear and fuel for a vacation🤔 you'd have to go back in time to the 70's to find people skinny enough to meet that 1000 payload.
You can take six adults if you don’t need to take full fuel or heavy baggage.. assuming you’re able to fit within the CG limits of the aircraft. Trade fuel for passenger weight.
Mike I love your videos, but you really should do more research before showing these. The black part on the leading edge is not heated to melt the ice, it's usually a boot that inflates to break the ice.
With an avionics build like that, which prob cost as much as a Cessna 172, you’d think someone would have printed out a spec sheet for Mike. And while I know it’s capable of holding 4 people, no one wants to go through 1 effing door to get to those back seats. There are other options with more doors. Just saying. Beautiful plane though!
Beautiful, fast, and relatively cheap to purchase. That's where the pros end. Maintenance will kill you. You can get the same useful load on some singles. Excessive fuel burn. You have to keep vacuum system even if you go glass.
Thank you for showing that that’s one of my favorite aircraft by Cessna. It was a TV series called sky King that’s when I fall in love but he would teaching people how to fly and also he was with the car Arizona detected. Yeah but Cessna had one problem with that model and that was the nose landing gear Air Force use that aircraft back in the early 60s and was one of the major problem was the nose Lale kept collapsing on Landon all just sitting there in the parking space so hit me up with an answer about that thank you John
Wow that 1955 310 is our old bird, N2661C. Here is it from back in the 1970's when it was cherry, wild to see it now. th-cam.com/video/3eDQRYgVCF4/w-d-xo.html We flew that bird for over 10 years and then our last bird was a 1969 C310P, very much like the Q you have here. They really are a wonderful traveling machine. Thanks for sharing, keep it safe out there gang 🙂
Back in the 70s there was an airline based in HNL called OK Airlines (Oahu/Kauai). They had mostly 402s but a few beautiful 310s I would go back and forth on weekends as a passenger in the 310 (was stationed at Barking Sands for 6 months). This is the aircraft that melts my heart. It was like a fast space ship. If only I was on a silver spoon wallet! lol It's so cool to look out the window at the fuel tanks. It takes off like a homesick angel too with a great rate of climb. This is my dream bird. Cessna would be wise to bring this masterpiece of aviation back to life. It would be a hit for sure! They would be sold like hotcakes world wide.
Why aren’t you a huge fan of twin engines? Why fly a single when you can fly a twin? Other than the increased costs they are better in nearly every way.
Good morning Mike' from SF bay Area. What a STUNNING 310 Q, "Go Sky King" Oh dear if a certain 310 C owner of "Harvey" sees this beauty He might buy it. Great presentation Mike very friendly yet Professional too. WOW, I wish Cessna would start up the production line of these Snazzy Twins. Cheers Kristy
As someone who's traveled often in boats I can tell you the redundancy is so reassuring for us who worry about equipment failure, I had triple redundancy GPS and Loran and I've actually had to hook up my back up to.my backup due to failure. I know it'd be harder on an aircraft,but I also kept spare GPS antenna's onboard. I know that's possibly overkill for an aircraft, but the redundancy this owner has built in tells me he's the sort of owner I'd feel good about buying from.
Great Walkthru and info.. Well Done ! Love this aircraft since my youth.. (yes, I'm old). This is the aircraft SkyKing flew in later episodes.. (yep, that old.)
Look for corrosion. Follow the scat hose. The guys who can fix it are getting old, just like that thing. GET A PREBUY!!!!!!, from a reputable shop!! (Old guys)!!!
In 1975 my dad brought the factory demonstrator model 310 for that year. Cessna's built one example of each model with every possible option on it as a demonstrator. It had 3 axis autopilot and color weather radar! Just a beautiful airplane.
Great job with this one. That is a beautiful aircraft !! We have a 310 R and love it. You did a great job hitting the points on the 310. thanks for sharing.
My cousin owned a large dairy farm and also had a charter business. After working in the fields we would go for rides in the 310. He had a cool pilot working for him, and one day while we were baling hay in a 120acre field, we see this 310 burning down the rows, 75’ off the ground! He flew over top of us doing 200mph!! Man oh man what a sight!! Once in a while we would take the 182 and land in the field. It was kind of a makeshift runway. Being 18, it’s a fond memory. He had 9 aircraft, including an older Lear jet and a newer King air. I learned to fly with him and was exposed to many great planes. We parted ways after a couple years and had our own families. He was killed in a 210 of all things, taking a father and son golfing. They went straight down 4 minutes after take off. FFA and ntsb said it was a catastrophic failure of the craft. Not sure what that meant, but it was horrible. A wife and 3 boys at home. And another mother lost her husband and son. I always worried about him flying. Where we lived there was always icing. Northern Michigan can have odd weather over the lakes. I’ve hit my head quite a few times in turbulence. Take care out there.
Some time planes are like cars, I have time in both Cessna 310 and several models of the Beach Baron. I like the feel much better of the Baron over the 310. But with that said nothing wrong with the 310.
They're slippery and can get ahead of you if you're not current. Relatively high wing loading makes low speed handling a bit challenging, but VGs go a long way toward correcting that.
Correction. Primary display is a Garmin G500TXi not a G3X as stated in the video.
Super excited to see these new videos back with your old video style!
Keep up the great work mike!

Yeah. It was meant for wife and kids… That went away in the 70’s too. lol
@@toddstarkey6820You forgot the Golden lab, rich people always have a Golden lab. 😂

Glad to see a beautiful Trinidad and Tobago influenced airplane 😊
The PFD is a g600 txi, much more expensive than g3x
G500TXi, not G3X. That's a high dollar panel
Beautiful, fast, and relatively cheap to purchase. That's where the pros end.
Maintenance will kill you. You can get the same useful load on some singles. Excessive fuel burn. You have to keep vacuum system even if you go glass.
As someone who has just recently developed a strong desire to fly, I couldn't help but fall in love with the 310q.
Great viewing!!!
Trinidad 🇹🇹
And Tobago
How much? Anytime sometime is for sale you should always list a price (except maybe like huge real estate)

Jealous, love my 310 but this one's a dream
They did a great job

I will never understand permanantly installing an ipad into a panel. What a completely incredible aircraft though!
My uncle had a 1970 310 , bought it new. I have pictures with me flying it when I was 12.
So sky king had a beach 18. But finished up with a 310.
Wow. I think this is it. For the price, power and dual engine redundancy. I think this is what I want when I get my license.

Somebody has some serious money into this airplane. 💰💰💰💰
Looks like they added Air Conditioning to it as well. There were external AC start buttons aft of the cargo door looked like!
Thank you so much for continuing to put out content. It's like Christmas when I see a new MojoGrip vid. I always loved the Cessna310
ULTRA Nice 310... ';-)
Trini waz de scene!!!
I made the first fligth of my life in a Cesna 310. I was a child of 12 years old and the pilot gave me the controls ¡¡¡¡ Indelible memory
Lordy what a beautiful bird. 👍🏻✈️
Beautiful aircraft
Baron over the Cessna 310 or Piper Aztec all day everyday.
The remodel will cost at least $500k, looks very good,
Why aren’t you a huge fan of twin engines? Why fly a single when you can fly a twin? Other than the increased costs they are better in nearly every way.
Totally agree
What a beauty! ❤

Great presentation Mike very friendly yet Professional too.

My absolute favorite plane!
It’s amazing what a little bit of paint and detailing can do to a almost 50yo plane. Looks new in its appearance
That is one SEXY plane dude ! Dude the inside BEAUTIFUL!
310 lb is a gem. Good job. is it good inside? All proper maintenance I hope. Location?
Nice! You mentioned it wasn't pressurized, does it come with air conditioning?
Trinidad and Tobago represented... Love it!
Trinidad & Tobago Coast Guard had one of these noticed its painted in the National colors and the Flag on the wall
You're not getting 6 people, luggage, and fuel in this thing if you plan on going anywhere.
I share your enthusiasm for the 310. I love your work here.
Remove all the seats at the back
And use for cross country light cargo
Runs .
Beautiful 310!!!
Hey Mike, I want to say I do enjoy your videos! Keep up the great work
Awesome 310, you are so lucky..........
long ago I had the pleasure to fly the C310
How much does an interior refresh cost? Not including avionics
This is my dream. With bitcoin at $300k I am buying it.
wow.my first time seen cessna with twin engine
Very nice 310👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Literally my dream airplane
YOU NEVER SAID HOW MANY HOURS ON THOSE ENGINES !!! ???? !!!!
Knew too many colleagues died in a 310. Not good… almost as bad a plane as a Bonanza.
Come on man, how many pistons does it really have?
Save the 310s!!!
I saved 3. Corrosion Kills…
This guy is clueless about flying a twin.

entry level means one thing, go figure
Great plane curious about price to refit
ALOT!!! Think Bentley

Good nite from the bahamas..sir I've been following U for afew months now....are you a private lic pilot
How much is the price.?
Love a 310, but a 340… now you’re talking. Pressurized, speed, useful load.
Great job with this one. That is a beautiful aircraft !! We have a 310 R and love it. You did a great job hitting the points on the 310. thanks for sharing.
Avionics look great, but they don’t keep the wings on… and your family alive
Very nice. Enjoy your weekend. #salute my gud brotha!!!!!!
It was a popular plane of the Free Mexican Airforce in the 70s. 😊

Stop the Video at 5:33 and take a look at what I see..Hope he's not a ghost 😂
Mike. I always heard that this aircraft is heavy on fuel compared with other twins. Am I correct??
I was very interested until I discovered it was a non-counter-rotating model. Meaning that if I lost the left engine I ephod be in serious trouble.
Nice paint scheme, one of the best I've seen, without getting crazy...
My dad was a pilot, AP, Inspector, and a smart man. His favorite plane was a 310.
Love your channel - a bit late to the fly-thrill lifestyle
- being dyslexic - and 16 yrs old!, love to live in retrospective. Thx so much!
I'm 6'4 feet tall, is it good for me for training?
That’s amazing. Doesn’t look 40 years old.
A lot of pilots did their Twin Rating and Twin Instrument Rating on the C 310.I did mine on a310 D model in 198o.A good fast twineng acft.
Beautiful plane. I’ve been looking at the Piper Saratoga. Any info on it?
not good that you cant state the asking price, hiding is not good.
Bro looks from another world without the beard and moustache
My wish is that I get to learn hio to fly at lookup academy
I have seen this one and wish I could afford it
Happy Thanksgiving Day "23 . amen 🇺🇸
still for sale?
Excellent review. Thank you.
this is the best I have ever seen, a pure Ten 10
Oooofa madone! Beautiful aircraft.
For sure one of the sexiest planes out there.
Super!
Beautiful bird .....Great Video!!..
Will that thing fly on one engine???
Some time planes are like cars, I have time in both Cessna 310 and several models of the Beach Baron. I like the feel much better of the Baron over the 310. But with that said nothing wrong with the 310.
Looks like the useful load is several hundred lbs greater with the Baron?
What did you say this AC's single engine rate of climb is at max gross at, say, 10,000 feet MSL?
At 10,000ft it would be negative. You’d need turbos to have any hope of maintaining level flight at that altitude.
The 310 is one of the harder twins to fly
not really!!
They're slippery and can get ahead of you if you're not current. Relatively high wing loading makes low speed handling a bit challenging, but VGs go a long way toward correcting that.
I got my multi in the 310. Thought it flew easier than a skyhawk as an instrument platform.
Outstanding 310 Mike, great video.
I’ve seen this airplane before in Trinidad and Tobago hence the color of the airplane
I highly doubt you seen this in Trinidad but it does belong to a Trinidadian.
WOW! As nice as I've ever seen.
