Each day, the team at Aircraft For Sale picks an airplane that catches our attention because it is unique, represents a good deal, or has other interesting qualities. You can read Aircraft For Sale: Today’s Top Pick at FLYINGMag.com daily.

Today’s Top Pick is a 1975 Cessna 421B Golden Eagle.

Decades ago, pilots moving up from high-performance piston singles tended to migrate to light twins. Now they often choose turboprop singles instead. One result of this market trend is the availability of light twins at prices that are approachable for a larger group of buyers.

For pilots seeking a fast family airliner capable of long cross-country legs, the aircraft for sale today could be just right. Such a powerful, high-flying machine with a wide, roomy cabin could convince even skeptical passengers that GA travel can surpass the airlines, especially when visiting destinations off the beaten path.

This 1975 Cessna 421B has 6,750 hours on the airframe and 800 hours on each of its Continental TSIO-520 engines, which were overhauled by RAM in 2018. Its IFR panel includes Garmin GTN 750 and GTN 650 GPS/nav/coms, JPI 790 engine monitor, Shadin digital fuel flow meter, GTX 330ES, ADS-B In and Out, GDL 69, SiriusXM weather and radio, radar altimeter, Stormscope, and Cessna 800 autopilot.

Pilots who want to bring a degree of airline performance and comfort to business trips and family excursions should consider this 1975 Cessna 421B Golden Eagle, which is available for $295,000 on AircraftForSale.
