Actually there are 10 flying in various counties aound the world, not one. As for first on an AOC, already happening.
2.3 Mil, bargain for a new twin turbine. Priced a new King Air lately?
Vs second hand Conquest? Don't touch a thing for the first 5000 hours or so. No downtime for ongoing inspections, SIDS, etc. just basic 100 hrlys.
$650 an hour WET operating cost really isn't bad.
Love how GA aviation is happy with operating the equivalent of an XB Falcon with all the accomanying maintanance costs.
Next one should be off the production line by the end of the year.
Cockpit really ain't that bad, Wal. Trust me, did 80 hrs in a week and a half. New KAP 150 worked fine.
Little narrower than a Van admittedly, but plenty of headroom.
Since when does any GA plank take max pax without a fuel reduction.
Anyhoo, let's see if trimed's company has actually bought anything by this time next year....
