In 1981 I bought a “new” (it had 300 hours on it) 1980 Cessna Turbo Centurian T210 for $108,000.

It had six seats and would cruise over 180 Knots. It had a range of 750 Nautical miles.

My how times have changed.

Not much for 100K. Except for the electronic instrumentation it looks like it could have been designed in the 1940s. All metal, strut wings, carbureted engine, fixed spring gear, almost vertical windscreen...these guys need to get to Oshkosh more often.

Who’s the Photoshop whiz?

Put the blue screen fatal error on those two displays and a snow-capped mountain in the foreground, please.

FYI..probably about $20k of that $111k goes for product liability insurance premiums and reserve funds..

BTW..Totally off topic, but seeing your screen name, have your seen "Mad Men"

It seems rather underwhelming.

By now it should be something a little more substantive looking. It just seems like a cleaned up version of the old piper cub.

Not exactly a babe magnet.

Cessna's worried about this, the Toyota TA-1 (built by Scaled Composites as a prototype), which if it made production would cost an estimated $80K.

Cessna's already under pressure from Honda in the very light jet segment.
