Hi Stewart,
Thank you for the detailed write-up. My wife and I are definitely interested—the 421C has always been high on our list as a family airplane—but we do have quite a few questions as we start to evaluate whether it’s the right fit for us.

Our oldest is about to leave for college and we are just not going to be needing this much airplane, so looking to go back to a Bonanza or Baron. I would be happy to look at a trade for an A36 or B58 (Possibly a 55) or sell it outright. It has been a great airplane for us that is a perfect family machine! Super tight pressurization and cold A/C.

New Paint and interior 2012 in great shape. Exterior ceramic coated 2025.

If I knew what I was getting into with a 421 I’d be all over this. FL to CO gets a little long in an A36.
