Re: Succesor to the Navajo, Chieftain, Metro
Now why is a turbine more expensive to run? 5000hr tbo more like $250,000 au for an overhaul and hot sections of between $50,000 to $100,000 for a real bad one. Work that out on an per hour cost and its cheaper than two big turbo charged pistons which you have to baby.
Try operating a Turbine v's a Nav or Cheif and you'll see why when people wake up there won't be any of those old heaps of junk flying around.
