Your 421 experience is different than mine. I was a ramp rat at an airport that had 2 of these. I've never seen one start that smoothly. It got the the point where every time I pulled a 421 out of the hangar, I'd wait nearby and kept a screwdriver in my pocket, they'd always need the mechanic, I'd wait so I could go get him. When the AME inevitably started pulling the cowl, the owner would ask if there was an extra screwdriver to speed things up. Still, always thought they were cool planes.

unbelievable modern avionics. What a dream plane for those with the $$$!! I flew a 1972 421B based north of Montreal, Quebec, single pilot, IFR , charters, year round, as far north as James Bay, and all the airports along the St. Laurence. Round dials, autopilot wasn't reliable, one crummy weather day (with a copilot) was 6 NDB approaches to minimums, with a Loc Back Course as the easiest one of the day. No GPS, no VOR RNAV, only a Loran which didn't work as one got up North. Now piston planes have avionics comparable to the Challengers and G IV that I later flew.

Financing these is becomming almost impossible. Looked at 4 or 5 of these along with 414 over the past year., bank will not loan on any over 50 yrs old which most are approaching and then they want 20% down, the insuance is over $5000 to $8000, and many want the equivalent of 4yrs escrow in bank. 30hours or more of training, for a guy with nearly 10000 hours. Before long your approaching an ability to buy a jet!

Financing is available on a 1982 421C. It’s 41 years old. A mid 70’s 421B which is 50 years old could be difficult to finance, I agree. 20% down is the standard with banks we work with on any airplane regardless of age.
