Oh, ferrydude, something I failed to mention is that I am a certified NTSB Aircraft Accident Investigator. Therefore I do have/had access to some pretty good statical information.

The NTSB has volumes and volumes of negative information concerning the MU-2. In fact the NTSB actually called for the MU-2 airworthiness certificate to be revoked. The FAA, for reasons only known to themselves, disagreed.

The NTSB does not call for the revocation of an airworthiness certificate until after an extreme amount of research and studies. Nor does it do so lightly.

If the NTSB considers the MU-2 to be a dangerous aircraft that should not be allowed to fly in the skies of the United States, whom am I to argue.
