Flying the New Cessna Turbo 206 is... WOW

Note: Cessna is not a sponsor of this channel and I was not compensated by them for making this video. All opinions are my own. Big thanks to @CessnaAircraftCo for allowing me to experience this incredible airplane and share it with others!

I've always wanted to fly a Cessna 206 Stationair since it is the big brother to my Cessna 182, and on paper it seems like it could be the perfect airplane long-term as my family grows. But I wanted to experience it in real life and see how it flew and if it was worth the hype. After spending a few days in it, I can say with confidence that this airplane is an absolute beast. I am working on a full debrief with my opinions on this airplane, and when it posts I'll put the link here.

THAT guy is a true salesman.. great demeanor and right at home in front of a camera. I have no doubt he is successful selling aircraft. Thanks for the great video!!

[onlyrooster]

Gorgeous aircraft! But to be honest, what an amazingly well produced video. Kudos to your team.👏

A Skyhawk at FL260 has to be a controller's worst nightmare lol

206 was the first aircraft I ever flew in. Took off, but didn’t land in it………….. as it was also my first skydive. I love the noise their engines make on full power.

[barryscott]

Holy crap you guys are killing me on the 206. My old 182 looks ancient and convinced me this is my next plane, one day

Back in the early 1970s my dad has a 205 Cessna. We would fly to the out islands in the Bahamas loaded with 6 people, and all the groceries and gear packed in around us! If you could get it in the airplane, it would fly!💪👌

Great video. I own a 2022 T206H and there is not enough content on Youtube for this great airplane. Well done.

[williamhammond]

I will always be a Cessna and Beechcraft fanboy. I first learned in a Cessna and I’ve flown all Beech aircraft so far in Navy training. I hope to own one of these for me and my family before I’m too old.

[justinj]

Fantastic content and production value. Keep it up, Charlie

[stevecastro]

It's like the Suburban of the sky. Definitely fills a niche.

[pipthebadger]

Damn, this is amazing, can't wait to never be able to afford to own it.

[branonlamphere]

Plenty of cupholders to put my beer in.

[codypage]

I absolutely love to the T206 and not just because I helped build this exact airplane...

[AaronGrijalva]

Excellent demo! I’m all in and am going to buy one……for my sim.

[AhmadDanHamidu]

This is awesome! I'm not a pilot (yet) so I've only tried this airplane on Microsoft FSX and I found it lovable. Great job on this video, I never knew what the oxygen apparatus was like until I watched this and now I have me first ever understanding of how oxygen is needed/used on these unpressurized GA airplanes.
Can you guys do a video like this for the C208 Caravan?

Loved the "Love Field"(no pun intended) intro with the SWA 737 taking off

Greetings from Cape Town. I have 2 Cessna 206’s the F and the G model, but have flown the G1000 normally aspirated model as well. Mine have the Continental IO550N56B crossflow engine installed (Atlantic Aero STC) and cargo pods. Full tanks 6 people, no problem. I used to own a C182 as well.

[DUKEMED]

That..sir..is one fine aircraft. It’s like the Cadillac of aircraft right there. 👌🏻

[luiscardenas]

I flew the 206 for a couple years in all kind of different environments from jungle flights to aero photography at high altitudes and after so many years flying all kind of airplanes from single up to airliners I consider the 206 the most versatile and strong aircraft and a dream airplane for any Pilot thanks for this great video.

Thanks for this video. I had already bought my 172 from Cessna when they assigned Derek as my salesman after my original changed jobs. I look forward to calling again to upgrade in a few years! This looks nice.

Hope you enjoy the new home Derek and Hey Charlie!
