Local radio announced today, Raytheon selling Beechcraft
Goldman-Sachs/ONEX group for about 3 billion dollars.




Isint Raytheon in the middle of a strike right now????


Isn't Goldman Sachs' CEO the guy who was awarded a $53M year-end bonus
yesterday?

Is the sum of the parts worth more than the whole?

That would be a pretty good bet.

Wouldn't be the first time. . .
Could be a pretty sad end for an aircraft that has, in some ways, remained
the ultimate "pilot's airplane" for over 40 years now.

I know - time has run out for the venerable KingAir - but Good God what a
career!

Yep, too bad they're still building 40 year old airplanes.

They may not be for much longer with buyers like Onex.

Let's see.................name a NEW airplane you can fill all the tanks,
all 10 seats, 50 pounds of baggage for each PAX, and then go 5 hours at 310
Kts.

That seems to suggest that the King Air has some life remaining....

And as far as that goes, try to find a NEW airplane that will carry more,
further, faster, and into more un-improved strips than the 54 year old
Cessna Skywagon. Nada!

The Cirrus is nice, but it's kind of a "girly man" airplane.(With respects
to Arnold!)
