Not sure if anyone would be interested but I am flying KBJC (Denver) to KCXY (Harrisburg) this Sunday and then flying back to Denver sometime on Tuesday (probably late in the day but not sure yet).

If you want some some right seat flying in the flight levels, let me know. Always nice to have an extra set of eyes on board. It’s about 1300nm each way so you will get a nice look at how an mu2 does on a long trip.

No because I already want an MU2 and can't afford it... that would be like offering someone a little cocain to get them addicted! :)

Great offer...

How long would that take you? I planned it out and in the PC-12 it would take right at five hours at 260 kts and 2400 lbs of fuel. I’d need a bathroom break.

Hey, that's a pretty long leg. But I'm going KSQL-KBED tomorrow! One fuel stop eastbound, probably KFSD. Tailwinds decreasing :thumbdown: , looks like it'll be about 8 hours in the air.

errr, not even close mate..........it would take 4:49 hrs (i'll give you points for that one) but it would only be about 1850lbs of fuel......... that be for the way there.....

PC12 has a lav, we use it like the bathroom at an all you can drink beer fest..........'as noted in other posts, we're lav maestro's

Now on the way back the bird will take about 2100lbs of fuel to get back...........and about 5.3 hours.........

Anthony's bird has stealth mode, much better speed and way better gas mileage........Anthony, if you'd given me more time I woulda joined you. I'm in KAPA tomorrow......

Next time MP.

Ragarding time - ff says with current winds 4:26 going and 5:15 on the return plus 30min extra for the fuel stop. I usually fly a little lower on the way back to push as much speed as possible into the wind. I also have gotten pretty good at quick turns. 30 min is about as fast as you can turn the mu2 and that is starting the clock when wheels hit and turning it off when they leave the ground. I have done 20 but that is in Salina where the fbo is in the middle of a giant runway and u taxi for about 20 seconds on both arrival and departure, they had my cc saved on file, I was solo and the truck was waiting with guys standing around holding ladders.

Yeah, I find that to be optimistic sometimes. Depends on whether A) they're ready for you, and B) they kind of already know the MU2.
