N4921P — 1962 Piper Apache Geronimo 235
N4921P isn’t just another vintage twin — it’s a special piece of Piper aviation history.
Built in 1962 as a Piper PA-23-235 Apache, N4921P represents one of the most desirable versions of the legendary Apache platform. The Apache was Piper’s first production twin-engine aircraft, and the later 235-horsepower version added substantially more power and capability.
What makes N4921P even more unique is its Geronimo configuration. The Geronimo program was developed to modernize and improve the Apache through aerodynamic refinements, upgraded styling, and performance improvements. The result is one of the most recognizable and capable versions of the PA-23 family.
Power comes from two Lycoming O-540-series six-cylinder engines producing approximately 235 horsepower each — 470 horsepower combined. These normally aspirated engines are known throughout general aviation for their durability, simplicity, and big-displacement power.
A properly configured Apache Geronimo 235 can cruise in the neighborhood of 155–165 knots, giving pilots performance that remains impressive even compared with many newer light twins.
But numbers only tell part of the story.
N4921P is special because airplanes like this simply aren’t being built anymore. It combines classic Piper styling, six-cylinder Lycoming power, retractable landing gear, constant-speed propellers, true multi-engine capability, and the unmistakable character of the Geronimo conversion.
For Countrywide Flyers, N4921P represents more than another airplane in the fleet. It gives pilots the opportunity to experience old-school multi-engine flying in a genuine classic while building valuable twin-engine experience in an aircraft with history, presence, and personality.
