My question is ... WHERE ARE THESE PLANES? I've never seen twin
piston engine plane with fewer than 4 seats.

BTW, the average age of a four seat piston single ... 38 years.


I have a feeling that the 4 was a typo and they meant fewer than 6
seats.

Anyway, here's a 2 seat twin:

Yes, but I don't think many of these were built.

Were there any popular fewer-than-four seat piston twins? What's the
most popular out of this probably very small group?
