Had this conversation with a C/A of a similar background a couple of days ago while we were watching Turkmenistan roll by. We agreed that we now suck and would probably crash if tasked with what seemed like an average day, back then.

If you caught me at the right time and place (say, getting ready to go to Shenzhen at 3:30 am), I might be willing to try it anyway, though...

I could almost certainly get *that* turboprop from my background into the air, but I can’t promise I would do all the switchology exactly correct.

Oddly enough I rode on a CRJ-900 the other day and had a brief but nice chat about the thing with the captain after, who related that a lot of us forlorn-looking double-breasted blazer types commented they missed the airplane and the flying which, in the case of that one, is actually true.

Everything else that came with it I do not miss at all, however.

While I love all things from the shop of Olive Ann, a plane that has “accelerate-slow” charts vs stop left me scratching my head.

Over beers, nothing is more my favorite conversation than the 99 problems that Beech gave me….
Out of 26 unique models (i had to check the log for this), that Ive flown thus far, it is, and likely will remain, the only abomination that I never want to touch again. I loathed every minute of the 504.4 I spent in that airplane…but I am damn glad I had them *shrug* Im a masochist
 
I once flew my “destination” aircraft for quite a few years, so I get it. I hope you guys (and gals) get to fly her again.
