Oscar Taylor's Speedstar 850 for sale.

For those who read my trip reports here or on Flying forum might remember how I bought Oscar’s old props off of the donor for his new project (a faster 4 seat PT6 thing based on the Aerostar). Anyway, Oscar is now selling his Speedstar 850 that I had the privilege to get a good look at in his hangar. It’s an absolutely gorgeous machine where no expense has been spared, and it does close to 300kts. For those who might want great turbine performance on a lesser budget, this could be a nice machine.

That's a very attractive aircraft, with some beautiful details. The exhausts are stunning.

But, why only four seats?

Beautiful plane Adam, however, on a more sober note, whoever buys it certainly does not want to be doing this..

1 dead in Douglas County plane crash

Apparently he bought it two weeks ago.

I think it's just to make it roomier. You could fit 6 in there.

I wish!

And yes, sad about that Aerostar crash, but the guy was hotrodding and doing knife edge aerobatics at very low level. Not a good idea in a plane you don't have much experience in. Apparently the guy was a Frontier Airlines A320 captain.
