Welcome to BeechTalk! The folks over in Turbines are certainly going to love seeing a picture of your plane in your Avatar, provided you can post a picture of your plane. If you have paid for a recent landing gear overhaul there is a pretty good discussion going on over there right now that could use your input.

Tom Clements on here has great insight into the King Air line in general. You can see some of his posts and order his book if you'd like. Ours has the strakes, Blackhawk engines and Raisbeck props, and the gross weight increase to 10,500. I follow Tom on the King Air Academy channel on YouTube, read his articles in King Air Magazine, and really enjoyed his book.

By the way, you'll need to post a pic or two to get some attention.

Thanks! I spend a lot of hours on the ground keeping it looking good so I can feel proud showing it off wherever we go.
265 TAS and around 580 lbs/hr around FL210 TAS goes down a few kts/thousand feet as we get higher, but I can get the fuel closer to 510 lbs/hr at around FL250 and FL260 We regularly frequent an airport with a 25ft x 3,000ft hard surfaced runway and the airplane handles it just fine. I might be off on some of the fuel numbers
