Backseat in the 210
Last weekend my friend and classmate Jon invited me to come along and sit in the back for his first lesson in the Cessna 210. The 210 is quite a step up from the trainers we fly. It is much more powerful and complex and has retractable landing gear. It is very similar to the planes usually flown in missions. It was a special treat to get to sit in the back and watch. Eventually in the future I will be needing to get time in a similar type of airplane so it was nice to get a small taste of what goes on in there. Here’s a little video I put together of the flight.
