The old twin V Single, they both have their places in aviation but personally not in Aeromed, they save, not add risk
You won't get any argument from me there Wally! The old argument that PT6's never fail just doesn't hold water. I remember one of the Queensland RAAF pilots telling me that he had an engine quit on him on climb out in a B200 once. The aircraft was fully loaded, & he said that if it hadn't been for all the alarms going off he wouldn't have noticed much difference as it was still climbing out as if nothing had happened.

DF.

P.S. You've also just confirmed what I believed to be the reason why the SE section still have KingAirs.
