Rich, thank you for bringing me back in time, I flew a 414 in 1982 , between the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, excellent aircraft , well built, super comfortable, all around a KING 👑
Jeez Rich, you get out of a nice Cessna twin and climb into a Waco….I think you do that to tease us lol. Great video and I agree this aircraft has room for a panel update. Thanks for sharing.
I know it's been 11 months, but wow I neer saw a gopro looking from inside the nacelle back over the tail. Gives great perspective of climb rate - or gradient at least. GREAT SHOT. 575 ouch hope you sold it to a deserving owner.
Hi Richard, Sir, greetings from Argentina This is probably the 1st. or 2nd. time I comment in any of your videos despite I´m a long time subscriber. There is a gentleman in Pennsylvania State called Jason who has his own channel called "Rebuild Rescue". A few months ago, he was given a C401 and he is on a mission to rescue that plane for humanitarian purposes. The only throw-back he has is that the wings have to be replaced and so far, he´s got no luck. Since you are so attached to Cessna´s aircrafts, Isn´t there any chance you can help this gentleman out with his quest? It would be amazing if both of you could reach to each other. My best wishes to you, your family and friends from NE Patagonia, Argentina, (a dream place).
Beautiful Cessna 414 in Pristine Condition 2 and looks like very well Maintained !! Nice Flight Rich u get 2 C all the great Nature scenery and enjoy flying all these Nice Airplanes !! If you believe in an creator (GOD) don't forget 2 thank him for the Good Life he gave you !! Thanks again for another great video !! 😊😊
Hey I flew 303s a little bit Cool little ride with the airstair door I liked all the 300 series. 414 are great. the 401s and 402s are dogs. Lots of time in those
When you mentioned not building them again I got thinking, do you think they would be too close to PT6 money? Given a choice I would choose a PT6 powered single. I have no idea what the 4XX's were new. Just curious. Thanks --gary
I think the 303 Crusader is a very nice and elegant aircraft with its cruciform tail (I had my hands on one, many years ago) but I understand it is notoriously underpowered, some saying unable to climb out on one engine (250 per side). Couldn’t verify that. Unpressurized.
I looked at this video originally on my 14" laptop, and I read 'Chino' as 'China!' I was thinking 'that's a long flight!' I guess I need to update my eyeglass prescription. Now, on to watch the flight to CHINO, California. LOL You know, Rich, you said Cessna would never build these airplanes again, but I have to wonder. With Continental's CD-300 engine, do you think it might be cost-effective to attempt to restart a scaled-back cabin class twin market? If you updated the 340A and the 414A with the latest avionics and installed the CD-300 engines, except only ran say 100 gallons of Jet-A, you might get a longer ranged aircraft with more full-fuel payload. Granted, it wouldn't be 'cheap', but when a new Malibu Mirage is $1.4M, if you could do it for $2M-2.2M (putting it right under a new Meridian), there might be some people or businesses that would buy it. You have a proven airframe, altering the engines to something that is much more fuel efficient, i.e., 9.2/gph at max power, could bring a change to the marketplace.
@@FlyingwithRich Thanks for putting out enjoyable content to a pilot who is probably never going to get his medical back, and even so, doesn't have the money to fly. You, and other content creators here on UA-cam help to 'keep me in the sky' and I appreciate that.
awesome rich! I thought mp was supposed to be lower than rpm. that's what my cfi requires in the 172. but I noticed a couple videos where that's not the case. you were doing 25/23
Rich, thank you for bringing me back in time, I flew a 414 in 1982 , between the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, excellent aircraft , well built, super comfortable, all around a KING 👑
Thanks for the message - very cool time/place to be flying!
What a beautiful airplane.
I've said it before, Rich - you have a very cool life. that smile while landing the Waco !
Thanks - blessed to get to fly as much as I do!
Awesome camera angle on the wing looking aft.
Rich flies like a Boss My Dad was a Navy pilot and owned a Waco for a few years. He said it was more fun than a jet.
It’s so fun!
Jeez Rich, you get out of a nice Cessna twin and climb into a Waco….I think you do that to tease us lol. Great video and I agree this aircraft has room for a panel update. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
The Ram engines are great for a new first time buyer looking to move up to a pressurized cabin class light Twin
Beautiful 414...nice Waco...Great vid as usual..
Thanks.
good video good aircraft
Very Nice Low Time ce414A... Paint and interior look incredible too! Thanks for the ride ';-)
Thanks for watching!
What i have to say? Great bird , great job Rich ! Thanks for video. Good luck
Thank you!
Another great one.
WOW! the ONLY time I've ever seen Rich smile...in the Waco @ 10:35! Ah the enjoyment of an open cockpit plane.
Do you blame him? The first, and only time, I ever flew in a Stearman, I was ear to ear grinning the whole way.
Nothing like it - always brings a smile!
I know it's been 11 months, but wow I neer saw a gopro looking from inside the nacelle back over the tail. Gives great perspective of climb rate - or gradient at least. GREAT SHOT. 575 ouch hope you sold it to a deserving owner.
Hey Rich I was waiting on the call on this one that’s back on the market
Nice day at work. Thanks Rich.
Great day at work! Thanks for watching!
nice 414 sweetness... john from san diego.....
Need more Waco!
More coming soon.
Great stuff Rich, did I detect a moment of childhood exuberance when landing the Waco?
I think so!
you make it look easy...
Ice. You every wake up in the morning.. look in the mirror and ask yourself..."am I really living this or is this a dream? "
Nice plane.
I am thankful!
Maybe a weird question but I love this plane in the Microsoft flight sim. I just wanna now if you can see the nose during the flight

@@FlyingwithRich Thanks.
40 GPH to cruise 200 knots seems inefficient. But beautiful aircraft.
Good looking plane!

Thank you and am very thankful to God all of the blessings in my life!
ur soooo lucky......................................
Hi Rich, next time you find yourself at Chino, look us up there.. we'd love to take you up in one of our gyros. Tell Henry that Jeremy sent you.
Thanks for the invite - definitely will!
Ritch Love the 421. Don't miss Breakfast at Flos at the airport
It’s been a while since I’ve been to Flo’s - coming soon.
I fly a 340A… incredible machines!
Yes they are!
Plane still looks great!
Yeah. It’s still a sweet airplane!

Nice one rich 👍
Thank you!
Rich is such a bad ass.. 👍
When you mentioned not building them again I got thinking, do you think they would be too close to PT6 money? Given a choice I would choose a PT6 powered single. I have no idea what the 4XX's were new. Just curious. Thanks --gary
Tough to compete with the turbines for sure, and I think the prices would be too high to get much market share. Thanks for watching!
Living the dream Rich….
Can’t get enough of the flying!

Would love to fly the Crusader - thanks for watching!
Double sweet

I shouldn’t say never! It would be awesome to see and I think the diesel would be the best choice of engines. Let’s hope - thanks for the message!

Rich, How tall are ya? I want a 414 or a 421 I need to know if I will be able to reach the air stair from the ground to opening! lol all of 5'6"
5’11. You can store a step stool in the left engine nacelle. Have had many customers who do.
Looking from the side, amazing how much the 414 (front windshield, etc.) looks like a Mustang !
Very true - definitely tell they are from the same family.
What's the cost for factory engine's???
$100K/engine
Question: did u drop the last notch of flaps as u crossed the numbers?
I don't recall honestly, but sure looks like it in the video - more likely I just pushed down on the flap handle to confirm down. Thanks for watching!
Is there anyone as cool as Rich? Doubt it :)
awesome rich! I thought mp was supposed to be lower than rpm. that's what my cfi requires in the 172. but I noticed a couple videos where that's not the case. you were doing 25/23
It’s because it’s fuel injected and no carburetor, also due to turbo who increase the MP
Turbocharged do go over square. Seneca II takeoff with up to 40in MP and cruise at 30in MP with RPM at 2300-2400
old wives tale. Fire your CFI
Is she still for sale?
Sold!
Check my r22 project. Just found you looking for a 401.
How many endorsements does Rich have?
Do you mean type ratings? I have 5 type ratings, but 2 are SIC type ratings. Thanks for watching!
do you pretty much have the best job in aviation? 🙂
I don't know, but I'm blessed to get to fly as much as I do. Thanks for watching!
575 for a 414. I should have bought years ago….
Me too!
They were work horses for sure. Thanks for watching!
What an airplane! Any wanna lend me 575K?
