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.
