OTOH, neither is a Seneca which reminds me of a radio exchange I had
one evening going through Patuxent airspace. The female controller
asked for my airspeed and then told me not to exceed 170 knots. I
told her that unfortunately that wasn't going to be a problem. :)


Well, you can always dive! :-)

The one twin that looks very appealing to me is the Tecnam P2006. It
has similar fuel economy to the singles with similar performance, yet
the advantage of the second engine for the reasons you mentioned
earlier. The only problem is that it is a new airplane and you can't
get one for less than probably $400K, which is about $300K out of my
league.

It also has the advantage of being one of the very few light twins
with the wing on top where it belongs!!



Nice. Does it have a gun rack?
