But but but....it's SOOOOOO big....And some of them have radar...or GPS...or DME....Psh, it's "just" a 402.
I've gotten used to "some do, some don't" as a completely legit answer.

That's just, like, your opinion, man
Heck yeah. Just wait until you get into N375R. The correct answer is "...the hell is this?"
Muhahaha the mail guys have more balls than anyone bombing away in that thing...

When I started, 494BC was doing the mail. 375R was flying the line. Did part of IOE in it, actually. :insane:

You are not kidding. Thing has been around the block. http://www.airliners.net/photo/Cape-Air-Nantucket-Airlines/Cessna-402C/0017068/L/
Ahh now she's a nice plane. They put a 430 in it. I don't think it was there back when I worked a few years ago. Romeo is still there...still doing mail...still looking like junk on the inside. I do give the MX guys props for the 30 minute cargo --> pax configurations though. They make it look easy peasy.
Edit: Nice photo of Romeo, I hadn't seen that one. We got a few from Arctic Circle Air in the past few years, and they do them up nice. The ones with fresh coats of paint look great. There's a surprise coming out of the paint factory soon too...

Total thread hijack, but are those nose heavy? Look like that nose sticks way out there.

They're pretty nose heavy, but that helps with the aft CG issues you have when you load the plane up. Really though, I only noticed it in the flare. I'd usually trim during the flare to help out (*gasp*).

Dangerous!
The Chieftain was the same way. Especially the -350. Heavy on the nose... but man, that 402 has a snout.

That takes me back.
LOL, I just love the decision making process! Better than those AOPA online videos. Now that I mention it, i'll show this to my students for proper decision making. They'll get a laugh. End of clip... Trust the guy in the monkey suit to get the job done! :rotfl:
