That airplane rarely seen a hangar. It flew about 700 hours/year, five days a week in scheduled service. Under certain winter conditions, it would get a hangar on one end of the route on a day-by-day basis. On the other end it never seen a hangar. On one end, I would get a Tanis plugged in all of the time below about 40F degrees. On the other end, only below 10F.

Unfortunately, someone totaled it last year. The company that I flew/trained for sold it about 15 years ago..

We had 13-404's, two 402B's, two 402C's and one 421C for piston Twin Cessna's, and another 30ish turbine aircraft. We had a great maintenance department that knew the airplanes well and took care of them. Some may have been ugly, but I was never concerned about the mechanical shape...

Had over 17k hours on her when they ran it outta gas.. hate to see that happen to any airplane and/or pilot(s). At least they survived.

It was Superior Aviation headquared in Iron Mountain, MI but we had airplanes all across the country. Starting in 2003 or so, most of the piston Twin Cessna's were sold off, keeping only the 441, 208's and the Metro's. Eventually, that operation was sold off to Martinaire in Addison.

Cool. My mechanic worked for an outfit in Vegas (Air Nevada), around the same time frame where they were flying/maintaining 402’s, 421’s, etc..

I’m very fortunate to have him around to keep me in the air.
