Description
Built for pilots who refuse to compromise, this 1962 Cessna 210B Centurion is a high-performance retractable that delivers serious capability at a compelling price point. Powered by a factory-remanufactured Continental IO-470-S11B pumping 260 horses and cruising near 160 knots, this is the airplane for the mission-driven pilot who wants to go places - fast, comfortably, and with room for the family. The 210's deeper, wider fuselage sets it apart from its contemporaries, offering four seats, generous baggage, and a cabin that feels more like a twin than a single. Consistently maintained throughout its life with ADS-B Out already on board, this Centurion is ready for the pilot stepping up from a fixed-gear trainer, the seasoned flyer looking for cross-country capability, or the owner who wants a capable personal transport without the operating costs of a twin. The 210 is a pilot's airplane - and this one is ready to go.
