Air-to-Air Cessna 182

Finally got a chance to get in the air with Cody and Michelle in their Cessna 182. They've put a lot of work into this plane and it's pretty impressive.

Here's a photo that Cody has shared of his panel. It's a really nice looking plane!

Very nice. Love the 182.

Really nice.
You'd never guess it's a '66 model.

Beautiful pics and plane. I’m a sucker for green paint. Thanks for sharing and making my 182 feel inadequate.

Very nice looking 182 well equipped.

The green theme is terrific. Especially in the cockpit, with green labels on the panel and green stitching even on the yoke. Green gas caps are a nice touch on the exterior.

Um, that can’t be a ’66 without round gauges all over! Those air vents look very suspicious too

Is there a close up of the green lists?

Beautiful plane!

Somewhere I have one of the lists! Here's a close up of the lettering. ]

Shouldn't the cowl flaps be closed?

Wouldn't that be dependent on cooling needs?

Yes. Cowl flaps are open for takeoff and climb, then closed for cruise.

Yes. Cowl flaps are open for takeoff and climb, then closed for cruise.

Or open in cruise if you need to cool the engine, like when we're flying down low on a very hot day. Mine were open on my photo ship 182 during this shoot.

That was where I was heading with my comment lol. I figured it was a little warm down low this time of year and temps may creep up a bit without cowl flaps open.

Did the cabin air/ cabin heat knobs start out black? Mine are off white though I guess that’s easier to see in the dark

I think they all came in off-white.
