I absolutely love these twin pistons, especially the slightly larger frames! Also I'm very happy that you do the quick cabin tour, really appreciate those shots!

Rich, what is that little slat in the windscreen in front of the pilot? Goes all the way from the top to the bottom maybe 4 to 5 inches wide. Always great videos. Thanks for posting.
Great planes, but unless you have at least 2 million liquid or a 500k-750k plus stream of income-you cannot afford it. I’ve flown these and my friend has one. It will eat you alive on costs. For flight planning, you’d better plan on an average of 40gph if you are climbing high. The pressurization will be so so at best and your ac probably won’t work most of the time. They are great rides-no doubt about it but they are not for most.
Always a great Saturday when Rich is in the cockpit
Thank you!
Here here. Just folding laundry and dreaming of bigger faster airplanes.
@frankeaton8089 Me too!
Very nice 340A. Great avionics. We have had our 340A for 3 years and love it! You can’t beat the capability for the money.
I've had a very long day at work so what a treat to come home and find a new video from Rich. Just what I needed! My Saturday just got a lot better.
Thank you!

Thx for taking us along. Always nice to see Catalina from the air.🙂
Very nice. That avionics package is cherry! I could see that -340A being an ideal California speed machine. Thanks for ride along Rich
Thanks Rich for the flight , I am 65 grew up with the Cessna family .
Thank you for watching!
Honey, Rich just dropped a new video!! We need to sell the Baron!
What model is your Baron?

Great advice about power control. I used to baby my C 421's engines and it pays off. Another super video.
Very nice plane and great explanation about it. Always enjoy your vids and piloting skills. Thanks.
Thank you!
Mike Busch said it well- the fastest path to financial ruin is to buy a piston twin.
Wising you and family safety and wellbeing from the fires..Bryan & Melissa Maxwell
Thank you - we are safe!
Nice wings 😎 Glad to hear you’re safe from the fires
@@johnqdoe thank you!
Thx Rich...another nice aircraft.
340s are actually based on a c320, they are actually on the same type certificate
Thanks!
Rich you need some reverse readers in your glasses . Great video as always .
I know - just haven’t got the right pair, such a pain.
@@FlyingwithRichI’ve used progressives for years work great
That’s a great looking unit
I noticed that also he’s easy on engines. He doesn’t overprime.
Thanks Rich. Another nice aircraft. What is typical TBO on RAM VII engines?
1600 TBO
No b.s. and professional flying. Makes me wish I was flying again.
Very Nice... ';-) Thanks!
Yep 335 is just as good in many ways
Set a course for some good flying✅
Rich, Do you know who did the panel and avionics upgrade on this 340A.
Yingling Aviation in Wichita. Thanks for watching!
Does it have a dot on the windscreen🍀

It’s the hot plate
Part of the deice system
Nice airplane. First comment!!
Praying for you and family with the fires in Southern California…Bryan & Melissa Maxwell..
Door doesn't look closed.
Neat plane but the prices are these are all over the place
I'll trade you straight up for my 07 Pontiac vibe
