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.
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!
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....
Great video! I am new to the channel and enjoying and learning a lot from your videos. I am not a pilot, my dad flew British planes for MEA in the 50's and my uncle for TWA in NYC. Please accept my compliments. Loved the Cessna!
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!
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.
You want to get more people into General Aviation you find the more affordable aircraft. Not that I dislike late model aircraft…but it’s a breath of fresh air to showcase more affordable aircraft. Thank you!
Rich you make the best plane review videos! I love watching them with my dad. Great to see some "entry level" planes as well, currently working on my PPL. Cheers!
Awesome little plane, reliable as ever, reminds me of my grandpa old truck; very nice video and this one a true chance to get hands on a Cessna, the price is over a little of what they are asking for a new truck, what a opportunity to own a 182! Great video!
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
Same paint scheme as a 172 I flew in as a radio guy doing traffic reports in Az. I enjoyed watching the thought process during the "sell". You treaded carefully, lol. Nice 182 though. Hope you get your ask. You'd be fun to fly with. Cheers!
rich the older c-182,s are just fine.I hope when i get back too flying i want an airplane like the 1972 c-182p you are showing and the main thing its afordable and u don,t need all the extra expence of a newer one. Great old 182p mark san francisco
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.
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
Mr. Rich, I have a weird question. I am 74 years old in good health. Am I too old to go through private pilots training? I have the financial resources to undergo training and purchase a “starter aircraft”. What are your thoughts? Thank you very much sir.
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!
@@tonysaunders9655 Both good planes, I learned in a 172, we fly a 182 now and for longer trips its a lot more comfortable (rudder trim, sped, etc) than the 172, but I guess that's why they make so many different models of planes . . . .
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.
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.
I’m at Oshkosh right now with my 1972 182P that I bought two years ago. Presently has 7100 hours TT, and the engine is just above TTO great airplane. I fly at all over the Bahamas and the lower 48. 450 hours in just under two years. The F250 of the sky! @joneismann
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.
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!
@@FlyingwithRich I was actually thinking higher. However as an older gentleman who did his flying in that era they were certainly an great affordable plane. My favorite single from that era was the 206. That said, never had the opportunity to fly a 210.
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?

Great example of a legacy 182... will make a future owner happy...blank slate...thx Rich
Thank you!
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
That is a very nice plane for the price. Thanks for the ride!
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.
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!

very cool plave as ive been in a few of those with step dad years back, a 150 172 and 182, the 182 was 7316N out of torrance i remember,

N7140S at KTRM. I hope to meet someday in Long Beach.
Stop by any time!
What a nice machine… thanks for the demonstration
Thanks for watching!
182 is nice family plane...right price great plane to refurb..!
Nice video and great camera work. Very enjoyable.
Thanks for watching!
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
I would agree!
Agree
Love flying the 182s from turbo to normal aspirated and it’s still hot on the market
This channel has sold me on going for a private pilot’s license
Nice to hear - keep us posted on your progress!
I owned a 1972 C182P back in 87. Paid $18,000 for it and sold it 8 years later for $23,000.
I always enjoy your videos Rich!
Looks like a very nice plane, pretty good price
This one fits my buget. I am in. Just add a couple of G5 and go to go.
For not a lot one could make it look new. Hope it finds a good home. Great airplane
Nice airplane, who ever gets it I'm sure will like it.

Other than marrying my Filipina wife, getting my license is something I’ve never regretted. I only wish I’d done it at 17 instead of 40.
When I think of buying a plane this is what I want, I dont care much for overly fancy things!
Good price I would say it wont last long!
Another cool video.👍👍
Thank you!
Hard to beat a 182!
prefer 172

How much did this aircraft cost in 1972?
Around $25K.
❤❤❤❤
Great video Rich and a big shout out to your videographer he does a fantastic job.
Thank you!
Dream, dream, dream, dream. All I have to do is dream, dream, dream, dream.
That’s what flying is all about flying with Rich
It seems like you need to be a better pilot to fly older planes. Is that accurate?
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.
Finally,, a plane I can afford😜
Does this one qualify as “Light Sport” under the new MOSAIC proposal?
I’m not sure about that. Maybe someone else can answer that question!
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.
Sounds like a good rental. Thanks for watching!
Looks like the baggage door was never latched!
best bang for the buck. for a 182.
I’m at Oshkosh right now with my 1972 182P that I bought two years ago. Presently has 7100 hours TT, and the engine is just above TTO great airplane. I fly at all over the Bahamas and the lower 48. 450 hours in just under two years. The F250 of the sky! @joneismann
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.
Thanks. Barrier to entry on GA is high. If you don’t catch the bug, hard to stay in the game.
And 10 years ago it probably would have gone for $50k.
👍
👍
How much can you expect to pay to have G1000 added to a plane like this?
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!
I do wonder what that plane would have sold for back is say ‘76
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!

@@FlyingwithRich if it flys, you can fly it and love doing so. This makes your channel special!
Base price in 1972 was $23,040. Most left the factory loaded with optional equipment, though.
And it’s sold 😂
It was new when Rich was eighteen 😂
None of the "cool" upgrades, but at $130K a solid airplane, but then it is a 182.
