Cessna 414 Chancellor
N30DT
(c/n 414-0910)
The Cessna 414 was conceived by
marrying the fuselage of the Model 421 with the improved
wing developed for the Model 401. This resulted in a high
performance pressurized exective twin.
This all black 1979 example was owned (and still is, I believe) by a
rancher (cowboy) out of
Abilene,
Texas. I shot it when I resided in El Paso in
1980. Plenty of Chancellors are still
flying almost thirty years later, as evidenced by the nice one seen
below at Wilmington, NC,
International by Harry T. Chang in
May, 2007. Interesting in that N4640G was probably built
at the exactly
the same time as the one above, being only two c/ns apart!
