Stop Buying Cessnas: 10 'Sleeper' Planes That Smart Pilots Trust

Right now, there is a pilot walking into a bank to take out a mortgage on a forty-year-old Cessna 172. He is paying Ferrari prices for a Toyota Corolla, simply because he doesn't know any better. The aviation market is broken. We have become obsessed with big brand names, driving their prices into the stratosphere while ignoring dozens of superior machines hiding in plain sight.

In this video, we count down the 10 "Sleeper" Planes that offer more speed, comfort, and utility for a fraction of the price of a standard trainer. We expose the "Cessna Tax," explain why "Orphan" aircraft are actually the smartest financial play in the sky, and reveal the specific models that experts are quietly hoarding while novices overpay for paint.
