She is a definite keeper (my wife that is)…..she actually applied logic that sounded like something I’ve used in the past ……”why sell what you tirelessly created only to buy a single engine airplane? Will you be happy with your decision if/when the engine quits?”

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.

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

Thank You Brad, she has turned out very nice, we typically make the flight in 0:58 - 0:60….fortunately no airspace……straight shot @ 20k and back home at 21k.

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

I wouldn't sell - unless you are done flying you would not get nicer for the price.

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. This one looks like it needs nothing tho! :thumbup:

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.

Sounds like a good plan, anxious to meet and visit…..gotta checkout 3rd Thursday event. I hope you are able to find a bird, you definitely have the right mission for a C-90.

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!!!

I think she just doesn't want you to buy something faster, bigger - lol - at least this is how my wife was when I told her I might sell my PBaron.
