I knew Ted Smith because his mother lived close to my airport and he would fly in to see her in his old Aero Commander 500. I looked carefully at Aerostar’s before I bought my 421C.
I chose the 421C because it’s quiet, had room for my family , the potty ,the short field ability and FIKI.
Both the Aerostar and 421C are great planes providing you buy one with good maintenance and in good condition.
One is a hot rod and the other is the family or Corporate Suburban.
That is correct. It is amazing how well the 421C does despite it size in comparison.
The more I do with Aerostars, the more I respect how talented Ted Smith was.
Are you sure it wasn't a 680 that Ted was flying? His personal plane was a 680 upgraded to a 680E.
