Meet Cessna 210 Centurion
The 210 first flew in January 1957 and remained in production until 1986. Its high wing and retractable landing gear combine the familiar Cessna cabin arrangement with a different performance and equipment class from the basic trainers. The family evolved over that production run, so the named variant matters when reading capacity and performance figures.
