I am a Twin Cessna fan and owned a beautiful 1956 310. I have always loved them all, especially the 421. The comment Rich made about being privileged to live in a time when we can fly these airplanes is so true and heartbreaking. They will never build anything like a 340 or a 421 again. Gone are the days of the 320 Skynight. I am an IA and could barely afford to maintain my 310. Not to mention finding parts. The "out of production" component of cost is reflected on the ramp. There are hundreds of twins sitting on flat tires at airports across the nation. They are really just ghost that trigger thoughts of restoration as you taxi by, so sad......Gorgeous 421, great video as always Rich!
A lot of the older stuff is just going to reach a point where it either can't be kept airworthy, or it becomes too expensive to do so. There are just not enough 1965 Cessna 172s out there, and they're eventually going to start wearing out. I see the cost of new planes, and I have to think a lot of folks will eventually get priced out of the market.
That’s the Biden agenda behind the curtain, restricting import of parts so you’re forced into these tiny paper kite airplanes powered by snowmobile engines. It’s such a joke to see flat tires everywhere while your taxes get funneled into housing for disgusting refugees.
@@CaptainRon1913 yep-and there are only a couple of shops in the country that can do a QUALITY overhaul on them GTSIO's. That will go to TBO without any major issues-along with CAREFUL handling of those engines as well.
Ive watched alot of aviation videos over the years and it's such a delight watching u fly.Maybe the best pilot ive seen on UA-cam.So calm and professional.Well done Ric
He’s on point with his statement. I flew the 421 at one point in my path to the majors. You presented the 421 in an accurate and honorable way. Thank you!
My grandfather had owned several aircraft through the years 310, 340, 414 and a 421 just to name a few. He took very good care of his aircraft always maintaining them with the best parts and having the shop go through them a few days before we took any cross country trips including a test flight the day before the trips. The tail number on this 421 looks very familiar so I’ll have to see if I can find some pictures of it to see if the tail numbers match. His 340 and 414 are both in Florida still flying but have been repainted. Really miss getting to fly with him. As a WW2 pilot he was a very good pilot.
Rich, I grew up in and on twin Cessna's from 310's thru Conquest 425's... Love them and SAD that they are not in production anymore so I share your sentiments Sir! Thanks for the ride, Mike~
This is probably one of the nicest 421c’s I’ve seen who ever did the avionics did it right, I mean they even put a second Garmin on the copilot side did away with all the analog engine instruments and put the Garmin unit and the best autopilot Garmin makes wow.
Rich, one of the many things that I appreciate about you as a content creator is that once I see a "Fly with Rich" video notification, my finger is already poised to tap the 👍 icon. You're an inspiration to this rusty pilot (you have so many type-ratings!), and I always look forward to your next video. I like your no- bull, just straight talk approach to your content. Your historical knowledge of the particular aircraft that you're showcasing is nothing short of impressive. Thank you for your content!
One of my first jobs 20 years ago was as a ramp rat. The airport I worked had 2 421s. Part of the apprentice path meant one of my jobs was to compare the log entries to the receipts mailed back when those 421s were away, bring any discrepancies to the attention of the AME. Neither of those planes took a trip without needing service in the field. It got to the point where when I'd tow either out of the hangar, I'd just wait by the fuel pump. Because they were ALWAYS going to need the AME to get it going, or nitrogen to fill the strut, or the tire, a bottle of oil, or to to call the guy to unfuck the door seal, after they get gas, which they always needed. That one looks really nice, I'm sure it won't be like that for the new owner. (This entire video, and the time it took to type this comment is less than the time it took to get one of those 421s started on the best day,)
Lucky new owner, Rich.....she's a beauty! But also, how nice it is to see how serious you and the OCR team are about delivering an exceptional sales experience. Thanks again for the vid! Cheers, Ollie.
gorgeous and well equipped 421...if anyone has a chance to fly one or at least ride in back do it..one of the most comfortable and quiet piston twins around ..thanks Rich you do represent a quality product
Of all the 421s I’ve seen and been around this is one of the most beautiful aircraft that the new owner will enjoy and Rich I’ve seen you through out the year selling top quality aircraft and 2024 may have more to come soon
Drool, drool. I love your appreciation of these unique treasures. The C421 is certainly one of those, especially with the new avionics. Thanks for bringing the experience to me in the comfort of my laptop.
Beautiful , and it is a great thing when technology and folks with enough money to invest in it, come together to save some of these aircraft. Without both they would be put out to pasture, and like you said, once they are out there, there not coming back.
hated the fuel cell, always had a issue with mine. about lost it when I took delivery of 2 RAM `s , but that was in 1990 and still loved that plane, for a recip.
One day i’ll purchase a 1985 Golden Eagle III and do a full restoration. I just love the sound of these geared engines. Thank you @FlyWithRich for these amazing videos.
Tecnam P2012 Traveller (which you did a demo in) in normal and now STOL version is one of the few new piston twin options available (with more than 6 seats).
Pretty nice airplane and mostly a commercial working application, which is smart - no pressurized and fixed gear. Nice to something new coming into GA for sure! Thanks for watching!
Hi Rich, As a fan of Twin Cessnas, do you think these new diesel/jet-a piston engines like the Continental CD-300 could spark some new life into older airframes like these making them more economical to operate or even push some manufacturers to build some cabin class twin again? Great video as usual. Cheers from Brazil and Happy 2024!!
Beautiful airplane Rich, beautiful glass panel, do you know, or know of Jerry Wagner? He flies a golden Eagle out of Auburn Ca. Has a UA-cam channel, his plane Doesn’t have as nice a panel as the one you flew. Safe travels.
Thanks for the reply.. That's interesting news.. I have a Buddy who was thinking about a Turboprop.. reason why i asked currently he has one of the pressurized Barons Thanks for the ride!.@@FlyingwithRich
Flew right seat in a 421 long ago from Eugene to Redding. Ended up going over Mt Shasta clearing the top by about 100ft. Hit the rotor which bounced our heads off the ceiling for a thrill. The view of that huge mountain directly above was something you never forget. One of the great flights of my life for sure...........
Rich Not to mess up any future 421 sales but if the price being equal wouldn't folks be better of with pc12 or TBM Vs extra maintenance cost with a twin? Love the channel ❤😊
Flown on 421 a few times. Great aircraft! So… why would Cessna not want to make a new 421 ? Like the auto manufacturers bring back something old and make it great again? Back in Obama days they did that junker buy back and wiped out half the market for good reliable used cars… hate to see good aircraft go away to. Love the video!
hi rich i assume that she did not go on sale on the open market as i did not see her on controller for sale lovely plane i was lucky tp have flown over 1200 hrs on a 421c
Which one was it that had the Robertson STOL kit? Don't know why I thought this was it. It seems that no one is going to make cabin class piston twins anymore. Too expensive and might as well have a turbine single. But TBMs are more than I thought you could make these twins again. A 425 with 135As Blackhawk would be cheaper than some of those TBMs
Folks are hanging on flying 50-60 year old planes. Those planes are going to wear out eventually. New stuff is a half million to way over a million. Is Beech even making Barons any more? They're like a million and a half now, right? If I won the lottery and had $400,000 of disposable cash, would I buy a new bare bones 172, or a Ferrari or Lamborghini? Pretty sure I'd go with the exotic car.
@@FlyingwithRich The cost of aviation is a shame, it's really put off a lot of folks from flying. I'm getting too old...lol...mid 50s. I was really interested in getting my PPL in the 1990s, should have done it then. Things were so much more affordable. In the late 90s, the company I worked for bought a 1979 Baron 58, think it was less than $175,000. They eventually sold it and it landed short in NC, and was totalled.
It is a shame - I wish it was more affordable, but I believe driven by lack of demand for people desiring to fly airplanes, and if you do, it’s a lot of work to be able to get to a point where it provides real utility. Thanks for watching!
I completely agree that panel is superior to the g1000. i fly a waas, gfc700 g1000 panel and have owned the 421 panel. G1000 is great but not at the level of what is in the 421.
Love the content. Please take this as constructive… the video is about the airplane and the camera is pointed at you 90% of the time. Over the shoulder shots of the panel would be preferable for airplane lovers watching an airplane video.
Every time you talk about these twin Cessnas you sound sad, Rich. To be honest it makes me a little sad too. My employer is interested in buying a 414 soon and I hope he does. I’d love to fly one before they’re all gone. They surely will be in my lifetime.
are you feeling under the weather my friend? whats up? man I hope your doing alright, I like you a lot. I wish to meet you one day man. Take it easy! - Matt
Not really - that’s was just a normal check up/check in on the checklist I do frequently. I fly in those videos I like I fly all the time and I refuse to pose for UA-cam to appear as something I am not!
I appreciate your thoughts on value, but have to disagree. As parts and supplies diminish, the value will not drop, it will plummet. That plane is nice, but on incident and it is valueless….
Textron/Garmin/Continental and a multitude of other parts manufacturers/service providers make money on continuing to supply/support them - why would they stop a profitable business which has strong demand? Valueless perhaps in your opinion but I can attest to a robust market for them from pretty smart, successful people so the fact is the opposite of your opinion!

What's normally a more economical decision a turboprop or a pressurized twin like this one? I'm just curious.
A lot depends on the specific airplane, but if you compare a similar vintage Conquest 1 or a KA 90 to a 421C - all in costs will be less on a 421C.
