Born in Torrance in '54. In 1973 we rented a 206 (Navy Flying Club, $25 hr.) to putt around Memphis while stationed at N.A.S. Memphis , Tenn. A GREAT airplane !! Santa Monica is one of two airports my dad took us to watch planes. The other was LAX to watch DC-3s and -6s, Connies, etc , do their runup and takeoff !! What memories.
Great video! That’s my dream single! It’s such a shame the city won out on shutting SMO down! I used to eat lunch there often and watch the plane arrivals and departures. It was like an informal air show!
Great aircraft, slow as heck (no need to rush any decision making), stable as all getup, and those flaps. That last notch is like pulling the emergency brake while driving down the highway.
We had the opportunity to fly in/out of Santa Monica a few years ago. What a shame they are closing it down, residence knew the airport was there when they bought their homes and now they complain about the noise! Nice 206.....
@@FlyingwithRich Yea we met up with some friends from Italy and called to see if we could go up in a Cirrus SR20, of course thief CFI had to go up as well as I was low time and never flew a Cirrus. But you’re right that is some way crazy airspace out there, no way would I have done it by myself!!!

I am now a retired telephone engineer I work for 40 years with B.T. in the U.K. I often got ask would it be possible to move the telephone pole from outside the house I said maybe but you will be changed £2000 to do the job when they bought the house the pole was the then all U.K. poles have a date when they were made the usual match when the estate was built
Wow - closing an airfield because of noise... I bet this airfield was operational way before more neighbours built houses on then cheap ground. Next thing after moving in is to file a complaint. Here we go, common sense.
Lots of great memories in a 1977 206G flying coolers of Salmon from Canada back home to Northern Wisconsin with my Dad. Great video as always Rich! I enjoy your channel. Happy New Year!
Happy New year Rich and I’m looking forward to riding with you this time and be the camera guy right,,!!! I can’t wait to see what you have lined up this year in Different Aircraft
Happy New Year, enjoy your videos and the tour of the various planes. Particularly enjoy the ones with owners to hear about their uses. My videos with the 340A emphasize benefits GA bring us (to get more people into GA)
Great looking interior, price... not listed in OCR website currently, blessings in new year OCR crew, nice landing like a butterfly with sore feet, or my 5 iron into par 4 :)
Great video. You mentioned that this plane has storm scope. Doesn't it also need the pod outside? I didn't see it on the wing. Once again, great video.
Gotta love the People's Republik of Santa Monica...idjuts. The same resident's mentality exists over the hill at KVNY and KBUR, also which came into being WELL before any housing developments were created. If you buy a house next to an airport that's been in existence for 70+ years, suck it up. You knew about it and still bought. Just more examples of NIMBY...
Good question - I love watches! The Garmin D2 series is very cool. I have one and love it but it didn’t wear well - meaning it looked worn out pretty quickly. Let me know if you find a good one. Thanks for watching!
Really a shame what they’ve done to SMO. My father had a plane based there in the early 90s thru about 2003 and I took some flight instruction at Justice. If I recall correctly, they shorten the runway to keep the big boy jets out and push them to vny.
Dear Rich. Appreciate it.Great job.I would like together flying-Joy of flying and Only You possible give me chance-learning flying Cessna T206H Stationair for private pilot licence in Your beautiful Pleace- Long Beach. CA Please. I know You make OCR-Great again.!! Greetings Henryk !!!
Absolutely disgusting, the witch-hunt toward general aviation. Some of the aviation minded celebrities need to take saving these airports on as a cause before it is too late.
Isn't there someone in this world that feels pity for me which has a lot of money and doesn't really need anything in his life that can give me an airplane like this to treasure until i am called up by the Lord to leave this earthly and material things behind ???? Isn't there ?????
Ya, you wouldn't want to disturb the disturbed in Santa Monica with those rascally airplanes.. but every mustang, challenger, and fast/furious wannabes have 150 decible, very obnoxious exhaust systems running day and night... that's ok tho. 🙄
The airport shutting down is a generational issue. Old people (baby boomers) are having decades old airports along with fireworks banned all across the United States because their little dogs get upset. They had an entire runway shut down on an international airport in my home town causing delays depending on weather, not to mention making the airport less safe. They also got time restrictions in place killing the 24 hour business at the same airport. They get away with it because there are too many of them and they have clogged all facets of society.
I think you're grossly mistaken by blaming airport closures on "baby boomers" Do your research and you'll find that the majority of complainants in the anti-airport push are 30 - 50 years old, and many are immigrants or 1st-generation residents. That per AOPA and EAA. And why the claim that there's "too many of them"? Are you that proud of your ageism? Those older Americans built what you have. Be a little more grateful, and a lot more respectful.
@@seaskimmer9071 you spelled destroyed the United States with their selfishness wrong. You idiots have held office for 50 years there's no one else to blame for the state of the world.

Yeah. I miss that too! Such a great place to watch airplanes.
My first job was flying the 206 in Colombia. Great work horse.

It is a great aircraft! Thanks for the message!

I fly this bird for the CAP. Great aircraft and can haul a lot!
I’m glad that they got the chocks
I wondered who else saw that! 😂
My guess is that the passenger filming pulled them as they boarded after engine start.

So sad KSMO is closing, have lots of memories there growing up just a few blocks away

Happy New Year Rich! Thanks for posting and what a great landing. It's a shame they are closing another GA airport.
Happy New Year! Yeah it’s sad!
Happy New Year Rich! Would love to see you get in a TBM 940 this year if possible.
This 206HD is my dream plane.
Good choice!

Hola amigo volas varios aviones y eso me encanta
Great looking interior, price... not listed in OCR website currently, blessings in new year OCR crew, nice landing like a butterfly with sore feet, or my 5 iron into par 4 :)
Thanks - info coming soon.
Great video. You mentioned that this plane has storm scope. Doesn't it also need the pod outside? I didn't see it on the wing. Once again, great video.
Pod is normally radar. Stormscope is lightning detection so the sensor much smaller. Thanks for watching!
The Citation S550 had TKS.
Gotta love the People's Republik of Santa Monica...idjuts. The same resident's mentality exists over the hill at KVNY and KBUR, also which came into being WELL before any housing developments were created.

I saw the Patriot's private plane at takeoff!!
Yeah - still not sure why it was there.
Hey Rich what is your go to Aviation type watch? Thanks for the video.
Good question - I love watches! The Garmin D2 series is very cool. I have one and love it but it didn’t wear well - meaning it looked worn out pretty quickly. Let me know if you find a good one. Thanks for watching!
Minute 11:11 you are unbalanced right wing almost empty!!! this Cessna have an umbalance warning??? Best Regards from MMMX
Does the brand new fully loaded station air comes with that interior?
Yes.
California and their policies maker’s suck…. No wonder everyone is leaving. The 206 is very nice and good informative video… Happy New Year’s!
Happy New Year!
why don't you reveal prices
it would be awesome to know what your selling
We try to put prices on everything when we put it on the market. Sometimes final price doesn’t line up with videos.
Really a shame what they’ve done to SMO. My father had a plane based there in the early 90s thru about 2003 and I took some flight instruction at Justice. If I recall correctly, they shorten the runway to keep the big boy jets out and push them to vny.
That’s right - they shortened the runway.
I had a 99 T206H I could get down to 14 to 15 GPH and still get a decent speed
Nice!
How many ratings do you have man!
I have 5 type ratings.
Dear Rich. Appreciate it.Great job.I would like together flying-Joy of flying and Only You possible give me chance-learning flying Cessna T206H Stationair for private pilot licence in Your beautiful Pleace- Long Beach. CA Please.

Absolutely disgusting, the witch-hunt toward general aviation. Some of the aviation minded celebrities need to take saving these airports on as a cause before it is too late.
I'm still looking for a solid 6 seater that doesn't cost $1M
206, Cherokee 6/Saratoga, Bonanza, Malibu/Mirage are pretty much the only singles with 6 seats - all can be bought below $1M.
Isn't there someone in this world that feels pity for me which has a lot of money and doesn't really need anything in his life that can give me an airplane like this to treasure until i am called up by the Lord to leave this earthly and material things behind ???? Isn't there ?????
Let me know if you find them.
@@FlyingwithRich you will be the first to know ---- consider yourself informed
California a great place to fly away from ..
Shut is down in 2028. Somehow that sounds like politics. Just sayin'
