Comparison of KA 90 series airplanes Vs. MU 2 or others

I remember a wonderful Beech 18 based in SJC when I was getting my private. I think (I might be wrong it was sooooo long ago) that it belonged to one of the big guys at Hewlett Packard. It was absolutely fantastic, with a VIP interior. They had a couple of Falcon 50's, a Beech 1900, but this guy would only fly the Be18. I fear the operating cost would be on the (very) high side, though...
 
Seems like a winner

If you are going to buy a C90, Definately look for a good one...they can be had for a deal, but whatever you decide...Do not buy a one from Central Virgina Aviation!
 
Meh. The Doctors will arrive deaf and with spots on their shirts. Hard IMC at night, they will have heart attacks because the exhaust always makes the clouds look like the plane is on fire.
 
Oh, you really should get the three bladed props.:rawk:

That radar looks AWESOME! Wonder who can fix that!

You also should look at the C425 and C441. The C441 is a kingair killer. It will do everything a 200 will do but faster and on less fuel 300 knots on 500PPH The 425 is a good airplane as well. .

Other Wise +1 on the Twin Beech What a great airplane. If not that how about a Staggerwing or Spartan Exec. or a C195 with a P&W 985 Wasp Jr.
 
How about this?

The fact that I'm a product of the public education system (in the deep south...one of the states with the worst education system) peeks out every once in a while. I'm not ashamed of it! I'm managed to fake it this far! ;)
