Hi guys,

I'm virtually shaking all hands coming by, and introducing myself from my home place, Biarritz, France.

Medevac MD and Professional pilot, I used to privately own a Beech Duke (P-516) that I had to bolt on to speed brakers (and winglets) to slow it down, as it was always rushing down the runway on approach, thermo-shock cooling these fragile piston engines.

Tweny' years later, I am considering getting a 350, medevac converted (Lifeport or Spectrum, not sure yet which one), as it's always a misery to rent turboprops in Europe to bring our patients back home or to a decent hospital (yeah, not all European hospitals were created equal ..).

I will post on the right section(s) invitations to comment KA 350 maintenance and operation issues.

That's all folks, you may now get back to this probably more interesting thing ya were doing prior to pass by.

Cheers.

Phil CLARKE
