Your Favourite Twin
Thought it would be fun to hear the pro's and con's of the 'multi' engined' aircraft that you most enjoyed polling. For mine the C310 was a horrible dog but for some reason, that eludes me, I just loved flying it. Just a damn sexy airplane. The C404 was a pleasure. IF skills have never been hotter than the Metro days. Yes.....they were the good days. And you??

Depends on the mission. If you are referring to a personal aircraft, I enjoyed the Beech Travelair. If you have lots of mates (to pay the fuel bill) a Beech 18 is a great machine and easy to fly. If you are referring to a workhorse, can't beat a Twin Otter. If you are in a hurry, a Citation X (no, I haven't had the pleasure). If size matters a B777 (not had the pleasure of that one either).

Chimbu,
If it's ok with you can we discuss the types that we have time on. I do however agree with your sentiments WRT the Citation and the B777. Very nice aircraft.

Well I can't really say Buffalo can I (unless ms flight sim counts)?
Probably can't go past the good ol' PA31 Navajo (don't care much for the chieftain though, it flys funny). Navajo fly's smoothly and responsively and is a pleasure to land. Pity it's impossible to sync the props for more than two seconds.
Cheers,
Tiger.

As someone said previously, horses for courses...
The unjustly maligned Britten Norman BN2 Islander would be at or very close to the top of my list, for its sheer versatility, utility and load-lifting ability -all of that into & out of places very few (if any) other light twins would go, none with such good grace.
The C402C another well favoured machine.
