Fully Loaded 1981 421C - Flight to Santa Paula, CA

I would contemplate selling my soul for that bird. My God, she has everything a man could want.

Sweet Landing...In 1981 I flew a 421c Brand new Flew It 250 HRS for a private owner This plane is outstanding The Avionics state of the art Wish that was avail. back then

I envy you so much I was the youngest person to solo in Canada in1954 but an defective eye and a Medical doctor who didn't know the law reefused my medical if not I belive I would have your life!

Thanks for flying here just recently subscribed nice area to fly Ventura county local :)

Hi Rich. That`s some cute extensive goodies on a 421. Pretty solid platforms. Happy landings from Portugal

I know a lot about 421s.
Started my career working at RAM.
Built the first winglet.
I would rather walk than fly in one of these.
Not sure but last I heard Crackential does not even support these engines any more.
For all that money buy a turboprop.
Used to tell my customers when taking off with a geared engine always be ready for an engine to quit.

Flying dinosaur.

Never got introduced to this beautiful lady.

I am commenting because of the excellent aircraft that you graciously present for our viewing pleasure.. everything i was going to say has been said already regarding this 421. Its a beautiful bird.

Hi Rich, I contacted OCR about this aircraft but didn't get a reply. I then noticed that the airplane was no longer on the OCR website? Did it go under contract that fast? If not, please let me know. I'd love to take a look at the logs. Thx!

Beautiful plane. Really nice video and ice in the veins.

The production quality of this video is incredible! Wow!

My Dad flew this plane in 1974 from Whichita KS to Islamabad Pakistan .

Restaurant in field closed

They still do two hundred knots down the runway ten feet off the ground.

Very nice! What I don't like about twin Cessnas is the busy cockpit latout.

Great video. Earned a sub from me for sure. What a plane. Gushing.

Nice short field and hitting your mark!

California is such a beautiful state... To bad it's so full of nut jobs... Beautiful Flight.

The production quality of your videos is outstanding! Appreciate all the avionics details and views too. Well done!

I could have told ya there isn't anywhere to eat close to the airport in Santa Paula. Y'all should have just gone a bit further to Santa Barbara. At least there you can Uber to Hollister Brewing Company or 3 Pickles. Easy walking distance.

💙💙💙

Wah !! Why would someone instal all thos extras ... and then sell iy ??

As a former retired professional pilot and because of my curiosity, please expound on how you as a pilot can fly so many different types of aircraft? WOW! I want to do that. Could be a great subject for you to produce on your site.

Did Robertson make an STOL kit for the 421/414 as they did for the 340? Sure you can keep heaping comments -- it's worth at least $20K every time you make one. I'm guessing it goes on market for $650-700. I wonder, but it looks like you have some spoiler float there [creates drag of an aft facing step]. PS nice music on this one PPS. when I was living in Camarillo those hills were never that green!

I flew for 10 years in the Army. All steam gauges from 1985 to 1996. Now glass panels and automated everything.

Too bad Fadec wasn't around back then.

Always fun flying into Santa Paula for their First Sunday events. All the hangars are open, a lot of antique aircraft.

Would love a heads up.

Beautiful landing and departure

Love the sound Rich

My Favorite Twin Rich the amazing 421 and one thing about it the operating cost and maintenance

Santa Paula - where McQueen had a hangar…

Fully Loaded! LOL. Nice to see a FroogleSim’ism making a comeback.

What kind of camera are you using. The picture clear.

Great looking aircraft. Thank you for sharing.

When I work at an FBO in the late 80s and early 90s, the 421 was my favorite airplane.

Richard you Rascal...........

I've made that flight so many times...beautiful airport, but kinda tight even in a single! Got to give you credit for flying the pattern and not being a jerk and landing straight-in, which would almost be excusable in such a big twin. A lot of training and NORDO traffic at that airport. Also not a major glass fan, but will admit that's the cleanest panel I've ever seen in a piston twin.

Truly beautiful bird. The pride of ownership shines brightly.

That's my favorite Cessna 🤩

Nice views in the pattern!!

Beautiful plane. I always loved the 421 until my family went down in one Memorial Day, 1988 - @ Devils Post Pile.

Another great video Rich. Nice to see someone demonstrate the short field capabilities of this airplane. How do you mount the external cameras on the airplane, especially on the 421. I am interested it mounting one. Thanks!

Raised in Camarillo in the sixties. I remember Santa Paula when the only guy there was Mike Dewey !! Great flight !!

What is that application called you use to view airport, read weather info and all that? What application is it please?

I love flying along with you. You know so much about airplanes. 👍

Question…did you pull the power all the way out when you were on short final?

Great video, as always. I love your channel. California is truly a beautiful place…to bad the people and politics have ruined it.
