Twin question
Best headset, best sunglasses, best flightbag & twins. All topics guaranteed to generate polarised opinions.
High wing twin? Other than a skymonster, Partenavia & aerocommander, what is there? And they all serve significantly different missions!

- Twin Otter - fixed gear and no racehorse, but lovely to fly
- Dorniers 228 or 328 - apparently also lovely to fly, but allegedly expensive to maintain
- F27 - noisy and thirsty, but imagine the legroom your 4 to 6 passengers will enjoy!
Many, many years ago there was a Catalina that called into Australia. It was decked out like a motorhone. Some guy and his girlfriend touring the world as I recollect. I think that might get my vote.

Ok I will be sensible. You cant beat a Cessna 310R with a VG kit fitted. It will carry a massive load at 180 KTAS on 110 Litres per hour. Payload with full main tanks (3.4 hours to empty) is around 615 Kg. That's 6 people plus a small bag each.

What is the best best 4 - 6 seat high wing twin aircraft?

Looks like the Widgeon still rules
DHC3, ya gotta love the brutal design combined with Mr Soloy & the Pathfinder Cessna 208B, both great Twin engined high winged planes

Honestly can't think of anything better than the Wilson Global Explorer.
