Here's a short video of our flight home from Florida. My wife and I have six daughters from age 8 to 16 (twins in the middle). Just so I don't get fried on the internet: I had the extra seat in the very back, so there was a seatbelt for every butt. However, the baby (eight year-old) likes to move around once we level off. And by the way, my wife is not using the potty, she's just sitting on it. As for the luggage, I'm allowed one carry-on. And yes, we were within weight-and-balance limits. https://vimeo.com/541885983

Thanks for sharing! I do love the nose baggage on those Twin Cessnas. I keep going back and forth between a 425, 441, and 501SP.
Doing my multi in early June.....

That's like my 421 going to Baja. PS. You seem like a lucky man. That is a great looking family. I hope you are saving for all those weddings you will be paying for someday!

All of that luggage space (and useful load) is on of the things that makes the high cost of ownership/ operation of our 421 worth it.

I agree with Chip - I thought the bags would never stop coming out of there.
Reminds me of a clown car at the circus. That's meant in a positive way!
I'm just starting to shop for a 400 series twin cessna so I look forward to that nose baggage.

All I need to see now is the full size van used to haul all that back to the house!!!
Amazing how much you can haul! Thanks for the video.
