A friend of mine flying a King Air 350, who's Citation deal fell through, used to tell me his King Air was just as nice as a Citation SII. That the extra 20 minutes from Las Vegas to Oregon, wasn't a big deal. Truth be told, that 20 minutes was more like and hour, he was sitting down in the 20s, I was at Fl31. He got pounded downstairs for 3 hours, I got smooth air for two. He sat in a 10,000 ft cabin, needing to go pee, drinking a ton of water, listening to the props go 'wir, wir, wir', vibration, noise...I had a 5000 ft cabin, I was could take off my headsets. He always had crap to fix, I didn't. His insurance was about the same, given his high hull value, he actualy had to use his boots, he was always dodging the weather...and he usualy had to sit down in it...I could always get above it. No you guys are right...there isn't any dif between turboprops and jets...and using that logic...the next time your sleeping with a 400lb girl, try to pretend she's Cindy Crawford as well.
