I used to fly Cessna-421 for the ops in the US. Back then, Golden Eagle was the airplane of their choice. After 2 of our planes had crashed after take-off(no serious injury involved), however, the company decided to get rid of the piston-engined Cessna and bought King Air C-90. To me, C-421 was a sweet airplane to fly over he Rockies, alone in the cockpit, fly as high as FL260 (or 290, don't even remeber now...). Sometimes it scared me a bit after turning off the boost pump at high altitude though. I miss those days in the air ambulance business. Can hardly wait for my 60th B-day to get back to the real flying.
Safe flight,
