The 210 is not an inexpensive plane to own, and costs around $150 an hour to operate, according to one airplane website. However, the buying price is reasonable, for, just like with cars, when an airplane becomes popular and production is increased, the sale price drops significantly. One of these examples is the Cessna 210. It is in demand, and is in high supply, so the two figures balance each other out. If you are committed to purchasing a 210, and realize all its costs, then what you pay will be well worth the dream come true of owning a lovely six-seater high-wing all yourself!
