I was fortunate to fly the new Cessna Turbo 206 for two days and I wanted to share my honest reactions to it in this video. We flew from Dallas Love Field (KDAL) to Gastons White River Resort (3M0) in Arkansas and get a feel for the wide range of capabilities of this aircraft. Leaving the busy Class B airspace and flying into the back country was a really fun two hours. But I wanted to answer these questions first hand... does it fly like a boat? Are the double doors that big of a deal? What's the inside feel like? How fast is it and at what fuel burn?
