old news indeed...

Yes, old news.
It shold be realized by all that the early KingAir aircraft were developed from the original QueenAir design (yes the model 65, type certificate, ie: 3A20) and shared many components of such...except the engines and necessary mods for pressurization...and even here, more or less the same as the QueenAir 88 model, with the cabin pressurized with a Roots blower (cabin supercharger).

Certainly an old design, that has stood the test of time...some 40+ years later.

Some others are faster...but the 'ole standby sure is comfortable.
