N121BD, 1979 Cessna 414A Chancellor, C/N: 414A0297
Locally-based 1979 Cessna 414A in a new parking spot on the Tradewinds ramp for maintenance. It will be a big job to fix it up since it hasn't flown since 2009, but I heard that TW started it up the other day, and it ran OK with the same engines.

Aircraft N121BD, Locally-based (not for long) 1979 Cessna 414A interior at Reid Hillview Airport, San Jose, CA. The interior is very nice for sitting in the same spot since 2009. Tradewinds started it up the other day, and I heard that it ran pretty good for rotting!, at KRHV, photo by Chris Leipelt

Aircraft N121BD, Never... Never in my 6 years of seeing this plane at Reid Hillview did I ever think it would fly, let alone taxi again. This was an amazing sight to see this C414A taxi for the first time since 2009, and a huge shout out to TradeWinds for fixing it up!, at KRHV, photo by Chris Leipelt

Aircraft N121BD, Locally-based 1979 Cessna 414A with a fresh new wash (first one since 2009) and new tires. Engines remain the same, and TradeWinds did a start up on them to see how they ran. It was rough, but hey, at least it started!, at KRHV, photo by Chris Leipelt
