Cruising in the our new Comanche 260b. This airplane tends to true out around 165kts at 13.5gph. Stay tuned for more videos with this amazing aircraft!
Just bought a 1960 Comanche 180 with some LoPresti mods been having a sweet time with it so far. Thanks for the video. Beautiful plane you’ve got there.
What a bird! love all your Manche content. I've had my 180 for about two years, a total hot rod! previously belonged to Don lewis of Tiger King actually. Still trying to think of a good name for her.
Great plane! This is the last plane I was on when I almost ate it. It was a beautiful day of flying than once I came out of a cloud chaos as there was a huge flock of ducks in front of me. I pulled up at the last second as ducks were bouncing off the bottom of the airplane. Me and plane came out ok besides a few passengers having bumps on there head. Aviation is crazy beauty to pure terror in seconds.
Hey man! Great channel! I’m a 67’ 260B driver myself for the last 7 years…. but I gotta ask, what happened to the Comanche you bought sight unseen? Do you have any videos of the work that you did?
Best airplane for the money, no other airplane can give you this performance for the money which is why anything you throw at it for instruments and performance upgrades is worth it by a long shot. Throw instruments and performance mods in a Bonanza or Mooney and you get nothing for your money when you sell it because their already way overpriced. Much better flaps and landing gear than a Mooney that costs three times as much on the used market.
I am looking for one here soon. I am in AZ so single engine out sucks. At night. On probable cause with Dan. I had a Travelair with Ray Jay's. The Comanche is just faster. Less roomy but I love 175 knots more
Get AA36 man. The 260B was probably the pinnacle ofcommand G however however you couldn't put 3 people in it and fuel for 6 hour flight. 6 people And an hour and a 1/2 flight was about it. Owned by the way you weren't taking any baggage.
@@CascadiaAviation The airplane in the video is a 260B. That is why it has the baggage door on the left. The only Comanche models that have the baggage door on the left are the 260B, 260C, PA-30B and PA-39. All other Comanches, including the 260, have the baggage door on the right side.

Nice! I've got a 250 which I bought about 7 months ago. It's such a beast, I love it.

That’s awesome!! The 180’s fly so incredibly. So light on the controls
SLAPPED that like button as soon as the video loaded. Lots of love bro from KVUO and my 1960 N6550P!
Hahhaa thanks man!!
I love the Comanche. One of these days I will upgrade my Cherokee 180 (also an awesome plane) for the Comanche so I can go on longer day trips
That glass panel is fireeeeeee
so pumped I found this channel! As somebody with a drift car and working on my private pilots license, you're living my dream!
I don't know much about Comanche, but it seems like a beast! Fly well brother!
We owned that Comanche for a few years as well. Fastest Comanche I have ever been in.
That is a traveling machine Tim!
It’s the only way to get somewhere!

I love the 180’s!!! So nimble! The cg is so good with that 360 👌🏼
that plane is so sick dude!
Sick! Subscribed!
Looking to buy my first plane in 2022. I'm kind of between a Bonanza S35 or a Comanche 260. Nice video, keep em coming 🙂
seems like a great ride, got my multi in a twin Comanche hah! I was looking forward to the landing /:
In my C model on a winter day had 6 people including myself and snow skis and gear.
Sweet!
Such a nice plane my dream plane is the 400 but obviously the 180 and 250 would still be awesome to have.
Lets gooo love the video brother🤙🤙
Thanks!!

I'm fairly novice in the PA24 250. Great cruise statistics 😊👍🤙

OP seems very chill flying over the ocean. Where was his life raft ?
Pretty sick performance! I vote Comanche and 210 the best singles! 😎🤘🏻
They are certainly the best piston singles out there
Nothing like a manche🤙🏻🤙🏻
Best airplane out there!
Nice plane! I’ve got N9119P
No way!!!

Sure is!! These planes have been under valued for so long

Looking into joining a Comanche 250 Partnership. You group should pop over to say hi at KMLB Nice group of Comanche's
Love them man!! I’m down!
I thought he said to keep it tight. I could have landed 2 planes in that space. True the Comanche seems to be a good buy.
That hair style definitely adding an extra 5 knots
What are you using to record audio?
Had a 250 for years- Best Single for the $$
Quick question… does it have air conditioning?? If not, can it be added?
How much are the speed brakes for the Comanche
166 knots at 12.5-13 gph is great even if it is silly gallons rather than proper gallons.
Was that my good friend Skip Stewart?
How long does that trip take?
Nassau is just about an hour away from the east coast of FL
Is that the Comanche you rescued from Texas or a different one?
This is a different one. Lopresti mods
Yuuup. This is our Comanche with all the lopresti mods and speed breaks
Is that a 260? I have some 250 and 180 time. great airplanes.
Yeah pretty sure it’s a 260 as the baggage door is on the left side in the way back
@@CascadiaAviation The airplane in the video is a 260B. That is why it has the baggage door on the left.
The only Comanche models that have the baggage door on the left are the 260B, 260C, PA-30B and PA-39. All other Comanches, including the 260, have the baggage door on the right side.
@@mdickinson That's an great bit of Comanche trivia, thanks man
Bellanca Super Viking is no slouch.
I love Super Vikings!!!
What if you have to pee or even poop? 😂
He didn’t show the landing…🤔
