air conditioning- nice, required, or silly?

How much does aftermarket AC cost? The best price I've seen for a Baron was
around $25,000 installed!

I don't know if it is an stc thing, but there are conversions available. It
has always been far cheaper to stick with r12 in my seneca. I seem to
remembe being told is was about 6k to convert.

I can't imagine that converting an R-12 system to R-134 wouldn't
require an STC.
