Watt, Our neighbor still has his King Air after adding a Falcon 900 LX to his stable to replace his Learjet. He said that plane is a longterm keeper.
He’s right about the King Air. I mostly travel regionally so I don’t need a jet w low head room, expense, maintenance etc. The King Air is a perfect mix of safety, reliability space and speed.
We did PT6A-42 engines producing 850 HP each. If you really want to hot rod, you can get 1000 HP each from a Black Hawk upgrade , essentially the engines from a Black Hawk helicopter. $$$$$!
