Just an off the cuff remark but:
While waiting to depart at Ormond Beach, FL some years ago. There was a MU2 (dont know models, but had tip tanks) taking off. It was a typical Florida warm day and he needed most of the concrete to get airbourne and clear the trees to the North (from remoery this was the logest runway at Ormond, tip to the s/s/w, trees to the n/n/e. )
How marginal are these birds, compared to say an aerostar, another regular at Ormond in those days (1997)
