Cessna 421C Golden Eagle

This picture is of a Cessna 421C Golden Eagle that was parked outside of Wellington Aero Club earlier today for refueling and a quick break for the pilot. It is operated by Air Manawatu as an air ambulance. I've never been inside a 421 before, but the pilot showed us in and pointed out some of the neat stuff in the cockpit.

The GPS unit [an Apollo MX20] was particularly interesting, with a very clear display, map overlays, terrain warning etc. The back of the airplane is equiped for a single patient and seating for medical staff.
