It might not even see that for delivery. These will be lucky to see 10,000 most days. Hopefully they have AC!

Hah. It might make 190 knots on it's way from 11,000' to 9000'.

I've read all the arguments for 100LL burning pistons but after my experience, those turbos are squeezing every ounce of power out of those engines possible. In the long run that's a lot of maintenance they wouldn't have on one good PT-6. And they could probably get their Jet-A price down to around $2.50 a gallon or less in the current market.

Probably not practical for cross country, but seems like it would be quite a family hauler with an executive interior.  Seems a little faster than a Kodiak or a Caravan.
