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.

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!)

Yes my instructor and I where just finishing a flight in my 61 BE35 (getting
my IFR rating). He looks over at me and goes this plane still holds its own
against all the new planes. The biggest difference GPS. I would still rather
have an aluminum plane over a composite, an if it was an A36 I would say its
better than a Cirrus.


The only thing Beechcraft needs to do is lower the price on the Bonanza and
the Baron and they would sell a bunch of them.
I have had quite a few flight in a King Air lately and its a nice solid
plane and you really feel safe in it, but I personally would buy something
else. The gas and upkeep on that thing is crazy.

JMHO
