The plane was painted last year.
The interior is the original; we have more seats stored in the office.
It now has seats for the pilot, co-pilot, and seats 4 and 7 installed. |
| Other remarks | | In summary, EC-IHY represents a rare find in the current market: a well-maintained Cessna 421C Golden Eagle with no maintenance due and a fresh inspection completed in August 2025. With both Continental GTSIO-520-N engines well under their 1,600-hour TBO—showing 899 and 784 hours respectively—and propellers with only 85 hours since overhaul, this aircraft offers significant operational longevity before major scheduled service. Whether you are looking for a pressurized business commuter or a specialized platform for high-definition aerial photography, this IFR-equipped aircraft is ready for delivery from its base in the Canary Islands. |
