first contacts, negotiations...), but you've given me some ammunition
for
going to my partners for a second aircraft. The company I primarily work
for
has a nice stable of aircraft, but they're ten times the size of our
group.

I think a really nice compromise would be using something like a Bonanza
or
even a C182 for VFR or benign IFR flights but having access to a twin
turboprop like a KingAir for days when weather is a challenge. This sort
of
arrangement would allow the economic advantages of a piston single
combined
with the weather capability of a twin turboprop.

Thanks for the points.

Our missions run typically two types:

1) Initial contact with clients or sub-contractors; entails three and
occasionly four travelers. These are MUST be meetings.

2) Followup's and periodic inspections - one or two people and can be
delayed.

For a turboprop, we've got experience with a Jetprop 900 (1000 conversion)
and that thing is sweet. Maybe a 690B or a 840...
