I absolutely love these twin pistons, especially the slightly larger frames! Also I'm very happy that you do the quick cabin tour, really appreciate those shots!

Rich, what is that little slat in the windscreen in front of the pilot? Goes all the way from the top to the bottom maybe 4 to 5 inches wide. Always great videos. Thanks for posting.
Great planes, but unless you have at least 2 million liquid or a 500k-750k plus stream of income-you cannot afford it. I’ve flown these and my friend has one. It will eat you alive on costs. For flight planning, you’d better plan on an average of 40gph if you are climbing high. The pressurization will be so so at best and your ac probably won’t work most of the time. They are great rides-no doubt about it but they are not for most.
Always a great Saturday when Rich is in the cockpit
Thank you!
Here here. Just folding laundry and dreaming of bigger faster airplanes.
@frankeaton8089 Me too!
Very nice 340A. Great avionics. We have had our 340A for 3 years and love it! You can’t beat the capability for the money.

Love your "Flying With Rich" videos - such a knowledgeable and competent man of the air!
Thx for taking us along. Always nice to see Catalina from the air.🙂
I've had a very long day at work so what a treat to come home and find a new video from Rich. Just what I needed! My Saturday just got a lot better.
Thank you!
Very nice. That avionics package is cherry! I could see that -340A being an ideal California speed machine. Thanks for ride along Rich
Very nice plane and great explanation about it. Always enjoy your vids and piloting skills. Thanks.
Thank you!
Great advice about power control. I used to baby my C 421's engines and it pays off. Another super video.
Thanks Rich for the flight , I am 65 grew up with the Cessna family .
Thank you for watching!
Very nice 340A Rich! The upgrades look great, thanks for another great video!! 🤙🛩️🌅✨
@@deanarndell4609 Thank you!
Fun to see all of the upgrades. Our company owned 68C in the early ‘80’s.
Nice looking twin and pleasant flight. I like your conservative thinking about gently operating piston engines!
Thank you!
Thx Rich...another nice aircraft.
Honey, Rich just dropped a new video!! We need to sell the Baron!
What model is your Baron?

Nice wings 😎 Glad to hear you’re safe from the fires
@@johnqdoe thank you!
That’s a great looking unit
Wising you and family safety and wellbeing from the fires..Bryan & Melissa Maxwell
Thank you - we are safe!
Rich you need some reverse readers in your glasses . Great video as always .
I know - just haven’t got the right pair, such a pain.
@@FlyingwithRichI’ve used progressives for years work great
I noticed that also he’s easy on engines. He doesn’t overprime.
Nice plane
Thanks Rich. Another nice aircraft. What is typical TBO on RAM VII engines?
1600 TBO
Very Nice... ';-) Thanks!
No b.s. and professional flying. Makes me wish I was flying again.
Mike Busch said it well- the fastest path to financial ruin is to buy a piston twin.

It’s the hot plate
Part of the deice system
Nice airplane. First comment!!
Praying for you and family with the fires in Southern California…Bryan & Melissa Maxwell..
Set a course for some good flying✅
Yep 335 is just as good in many ways
340s are actually based on a c320, they are actually on the same type certificate
Thanks!
Does it have a dot on the windscreen🍀
i want to see a T303 review!!
A Cessna I have not flown!
Rich, Do you know who did the panel and avionics upgrade on this 340A.
Yingling Aviation in Wichita. Thanks for watching!
Feel like the cockpit is vibrating in this video
Felt smooth as silk!
Door doesn't look closed.
i choose life chinsy as an airframe.
Rich if you can find me a 310 I’d be interested. Thanks🤙❤️💯
I'll trade you straight up for my 07 Pontiac vibe
Neat plane but the prices are these are all over the place

This is a great point and true. While the purchase price may surprise people, the operating costs can rival many brand new aircraft
