N121BD @ KRHV - 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! - by Chris Leipelt

N121BD @ KRHV - A local Cessna 414 Chancellor sitting at the south tie downs at Reid Hillview. It last flew in 2009 and it has been sitting here since. It was recently repossessed over the 2015 summer (Updated 9/17/15). - by Chris L.

N121BD @ KRHV - 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! - by Chris Leipelt
