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!

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.

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!!!

Glad to see a beautiful Trinidad and Tobago influenced airplane 😊

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

[Kneemako]

My uncle had a 1970 310, bought it new. I have pictures with me flying it when I was 12.

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.

It’s amazing what a little bit of paint and detailing can do to a almost 50yo plane. Looks new in its appearance

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.

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

[tegknox]

I share your enthusiasm for the 310. I love your work here.

Trinidad and Tobago represented... Love it!

[SpeedDemonExpress]

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.

[RonaldReed-uldu]

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.

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.

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.

[RonaldReed-uldu]

Hey Mike, I want to say I do enjoy your videos! Keep up the great work

[sheriftaher]

The PFD is a g600 txi, much more expensive than g3x

[johnfoster]

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
