Not sure who else can supply this windshield, what was the price you received? Another person to ask might be Don Neiser.

I bought mine direct from Cessna, but that was 8 years ago. Price was actually reasonable BTW. I would give Yingling in Wichita a call, they are a Cessna Parts dealer.

I can see where a P210 isn't your choice, and it wasn't a recommendation, just what I chose. If I had the desire and need to fly over hostile terrain in winter, and operating expenses were not a...

Dennis, my experience with deiced Skymasters in icing is they don't do very well. They don't climb all that well clean, and the rate of climb really falls off with any ice accumulation. They also...

I think the slider seat started in the '75 P models. My '77 had it. The fuel tanks also changed in the '75 models with long range fuel going to 148 gallons, no tank switching except to cross feed.
