The Cessna 210 is an all metal, six place, high wing, single engine airplane equipped with retractable tricycle landing gear and is designed for general utility purposes. Over many models, each with continued improvements, the 210 became a high-performance load hauler with reasonable speeds for its 260-hp Continental IO-470-S engine. The latest model 210R’s—available in 310-hp nonturbo, 325-hp turbocharged, and 325-hp pressurized iterations—are rare but highly desirable. Factory and aftermarket support remains strong for the later airplanes, so owning one can be feasible despite the admittedly-complex maintenance.
