...aka PA42-1000.
Anyone have any experience with one of these? The only one I've ever actually seen was the one that Piper uses for their corporate transportation.
It seems like a pretty nice (and rare) plane. I know Piper didn't make that many of them, anyone know why? The LS stands for Lear-Siegler who owned Piper for awhile...did they just stop production after L-S no longer owned them, or was there something that made them unattractive to buyers?
Can't be the speed I wouldn't think....330+ knots has to make it one of the fastest turboprops out there. I suppose it probably guzzles gas though.
Anyways, pretty cool looking plane...massive props!!!
