Nuff Said It's none of my business, but... When a woman, and especially a wife, applies that kind of logic in a "what would you do if" scenario, often it comes about as means of expressing their own feelings, but doing so in a manner more acceptable to the other person in the conversation. It would seem very prudent to have some in-depth conversations with her around single engine operations. If she reveals she is more comfortable with two engines, well, you will, I'm sure, use that data wisely. Back on topic now... What a gorgeous King Air. I have no idea how you would ever be able to consider selling such a hard-earned example of excellence in upgrades and maintenance.

Mike C. Fortunately for me, our primary mission is just 219nm…..too short for the KA….definitely too short for the Citation. Note To Self…..she cannot ride in a Citation

Made the trip in an Eclipse the other day and it took 0:46 yet burned 20 gallons less on the round-trip.

Username Protected wrote: super surprised no one snatched this beauty up yet. I can only surmise folks scared off by the -21’s at “tbo”, yet so many of these run to 8k hrs either part 91 or on MORE program. Or better yet, put some Blackhawks on this sucker and have pc12 performance at half capex and 1.2 opex. Several tire kickers/dreamers…..two or three are disappointed for having waited now that my wife made me come to my senses. I have complete confidence in these engines going to 8,000 hours even though that will exceed my flying……gotta spread the flying around, cannot wear out one airplane. Thank You for the kind remarks.

Username Protected wrote: My wife has played the DO NOT SELL CARD Clearly you married the right woman. A friend of mine was toying with the idea of selling his Baron. His non-pilot wife put her foot down and said NFW. He married a great woman too!
It wasn't only the wife... That very good friend, when he found out about the sale of the Baron, strongly recommended the owner go get his head examined.
Thank you, Sven!!!
