Isn't the Garrett conversion 1000hp while the XP is still only 850hp? @Capt. Chaos

The TPE is significantly quieter in flight on every installation I've seen. The props spin a lot slower, especially on climb out.noise....

Texas Turbine is derated to 900hp for both A & B's. AeroTwin is 900hp on the A and 950hp on the B.
On ours the PT6 is slightly quieter on the cabin noise. . Untill the cabin heat is turned on. Not even a wisper of bleed noise on the TPE.

Your bleed heat system is different. The TX bleed heat makes a pretty good whistling at max heat.

XP wasn't all that now. Windows 8 is much more capable.

Windows 7 is so awesome that Microsoft decided to give it a facelift and called it Windows 8. Its the inner workings of 7 with a tablet interface.

MAC doesn't work for everything and if you money investing in Office, Adobe etc you would have to buy it all again just for the MAC...

How did a thread about a fatal wreck become Mac vc PC?

(Note the absence of Windows, above...like it's even a discussion. I use Windows to sign-in at work and to play games, and all other serious work is performed on serious operating systems. They dominate the enterprise, but that's about it.)
