I'm gonna guess Piper Cheyenne based on the left control column... obviously turbine, but I didnt realize that these were capable of flying at 34,000 feet. What sort of speed would they achieve at that altitude?
This is from Google/Wiki for the PA34T.

Mutt
Mutt,that should be the famous 400LS, Garrett powered. (lack of the proper 6 lever layout - only 4, naaaw, no good, me is a PT-6 man :-) )
From Wikipedia:
Cheyenne PA 42 1000 max S/L speed (cruise) 335 knots, four-blade prop, or with new 5-blade German MT prop nearer to 340 knots.
So the american approach (got to be faster, lets have a bigger engine) plus german engineering make for a real runner...
