Aircraft N121BD Photo

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, Poor old 1979 Cessna 414A "Chancellor" getting swallowed by weeds at the south tie downs at Reid Hillview Airport, San Jose, CA. If only I could see it MOVE.... Be sure to check my future photos of N121BD, hopefully you figured out the hint., 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
