About the Cessna 421C

The Cessna 421C Golden Eagle is the flagship of Cessna's piston twins — a pressurized, cabin-class six-to-eight-seater powered by geared, turbocharged 375-hp Continental GTSIO-520 engines. It offers near-turboprop comfort — pressurization, ~230-kt cruise, airstair door — at piston-acquisition prices, which is exactly the buyer trap: the geared GTSIO engines and pressurization make it one of the most expensive piston twins to maintain. The buy decision is mission and budget honesty; superb cabin travel, but only if you fund the upkeep.

Produced 1976–1985.
