    Cessna 310 true cost of ownership

    So I’m looking at this 310Q in Mesa, AZ with the Colemill. I don’t know much about them but would they be a nice alternative to a T310R with my wife and 2 small children who would like to do some 2.5-3.5 hour stage length flights out west primarily? I’ve been looking at turbos for their useful...

    Double Gear Up within 10 years

    Jesus H Christ... Upon further review, we have a 3rd gear up that has been discovered with vague entries. This would be 3 in 18 years. Think that’s about all I can stomach. Unless the community can convince me otherwise, I think that’s just about the worst I’ve seen yet.

    Double Gear Up within 10 years

    Hi everyone, I’m new to the community and looking for insight for those that have or have not purchased planes with gear up landings. I’m looking at a bird that has had 2 in the last 10 years all from pilot error. Since the last gear up, 600 hours has been flown. Looking at the logs, it seems...
