Re. post #464, remember you always also had the option of an MB letdown in your single jet. Not always an option for the rest of us!

One reason why I am sceptical about flying something like a PC12 or a TBM 700/850 or even a Cessna Caravan even though the PT6 is a very reliable engine.....

I know that the F35 has a MB rocket seat but even so I do belive that two engines are better than one. How many Tornado's, F14's, F15's and Buccs (I won't count Jags as their SE performance was marginal at best ) have been saved by having two engines rather than one?
