Thanks for that Mr. TRF4EVR.

You seem to have a good understanding of the -2 and your calling for better training goes right along with what CP was saying.

I've spent a nearly two decades on the Super King Air and I have found it to be a sturdy, reliable turboprop with good manners and graceful degradation when things start going wobbly - not unlike my current jet type.

The MU-2 is in the same ballpark performance-wise as a B100, with improvements in climb, service ceiling and cruise, yet does it on 35% less wing area. Some magic exists there!
