Went to Mobile Downtown Airport this morning to fly my airplane out of harm's way, and ended up leaving it there. I saw the line guys putting the bizjets in their hangars and, with minimal begging and pleading, got them to stuff '87D in there with the Citations and Lears. The building is supposed...

Hi all, Several of us have been renting twins are seriously looking into buying one. We have been renting a Seminole but are looking at a Seneca. I understand the Seneca I is to be avoided. The Seneca II is better and the III is the best in the batch. Our budget appears to be no more than 200K,...

I am thinking about a 340 and would love to get in touch with some 340 owners for questions around flying characteristics, maintenance etc.
