My ride….2018 Bombardier Global 6000. It has more range than my old butt can handle. The owner makes the payments but it’s really my ‘baby’!

[6Killer]

My ride. .68 Mach and sips fuel. Not bad for a turbo prop. Plus, your famous everywhere you go....

Love the HUD. I think your cockpit is a little busier than mine...

I want to ride in it!!! I worked for Beechcraft years ago. I love going for rides. After an annual or conditioning inspection, the mechanic always went up for the first flight.

King Airs, Barons, Bonanzas... I flew in almost every thing Beech made.

So how did they deal with the exhaust heat on the props with the pusher configuration? I know that was an issue with the Beechcraft Starship.

[Forkin' Crazy]

Want to buy something... Not sure. A Hellcat has gotten my attention... Or a C2 Coupe hotrod... or maybe one of these.... Clone of course... An original would break the bank!

Not really an issue. The only thing I deal with is soot build up near the spinner on each blade. If it gets too thick it can cause some vibration. You only notice it when you pull the props back. Best speed is typically around 1975 to 2000 rpms on the props. If you pull them back to 1850, that is when you get the vibration.
If Im ever in your neck of the woods I give you a call. Its a blast to fly.........

I totally understand. :eek:

I still have my father's '93 Z71... Trying to stop myself from putting an LS turbo motor in it. It already has the big rear end... All it needs is the big front diff.

It has all the makings for a 9 second "Farm Truck".

Apparently there are gems to be found on Craigslist.
