Re: O'connor Flying To Port Augusta

Thank you for your comments re PA31/C402.
Yes I was referring to the look and size of the plane, not its performance and other technical bits and pieces.

Howard Hughes.
Correct never flown in a Conquest but have had an inspection of O'Connors and seen a few.
You can't compare piston vs turbine when it comes to speed.

And stand by my comments re to the average punter a Titan is a Conquest is a Chieftain with 1 driver, 2 engines and a crawl thru cabin. And lets not even think of bringing the Caravan into the discussion!

How many punters would be ready to shell out big bickies to know they are flying in a Cessna at the end of the day?

Appearance is everything, God knows the Chieftains used to get some pretty "positive" comments about their appearance. If only passengers knew that one of the seats was a toilet!
