The King Air is a good one. However I preferred flying the Swearingen Merlin IIIC and the Mitsubishi MU2  . Pictures to follow I can't get them to load off the phone

Merlin IIIC

MU2

If you're going to go executive, why not go in style?

Well, any landing you can walk away from...

Darn hotlink not working for me... :(

In reply to Appleseed :

Don't those guys on the deck have any place to hide?

Or do they think they are bullet proof?

There is no need for a human to stand at flight deck level, they could put a semaphore on a pole if they need to signal.

Those Mitsubishis produced noise way out of proportion to their size! I got some time in a King Air B100, and typical of someone used to PT-6s, I was always a little suspicious of its Garrett Grenade engines. Back in the '80s, a lot of my friends flew Metro IIIs for American Eagle. They called them Death Tube, San Antonio Sewer Pipe, or The Screamin' Weenie.

My ride from the late '90s. It was up for sale recently.

Looks like there could be, but when an aircraft flips into your lap I doubt there's much scramble time.  Hopping over the side may just kill you.

No,  it most definitely isn't.

A local airline still files these. Screamin' Weenie  made me lol

Nobody beats the Tweet for noise out of proportion to their size!

Wow, there's one big orange bear out there!
