Shouldn't the wheels be retracted though?

Here's what they look like in 'ground' mode.

I finally remembered to take a camera to the hangar today. Here's the same bird at our place. One of our Lear 40XRs in the background, and just a titch of a wingtip from the Falcon 2000 in the foreground.

I'll be admitting my ignorance of planes beyond Cessnas and Pipers here, but I had to laugh when I saw the Emergency Power lever in the panel picture. Is that like the Energizer Bunny Lithium backup? Ready to learn...

The EPL is common on single turboprops. It is a manual fuel controll in case the automatic one fails. You have to be very carefull not to overtemp the engine as you add fuel.

What can I say - the guy has a rough life. No Beaver? No problem, just take the Caravan. We're getting close to selling the Beaver, actually had it in our hanger on Friday for a showing.
 
Ha!

Agreed. However, we make sure to be very discreet and thoroughly vet our clientele when it comes time to sell these things...
