Got to land a King Air 90 today...

I doubt that they are taking a loss on their *asking* price, particularly
since the standard *asking* price of a chartered C90 seems to be
$775-$850.

And that's why I'm wondering where the $900 came from.


The Jetprop 1000 is more comperable to a B200 than a C90. Remember they
were only paying one pilot (and maybe not even him) too!

Likewise. Our company has NO dedicated pilots, and our 1000 costs about $660
an hour for total costs (335 hours total FT in 2003..earlier I'd said $625
for direct, but I think it's more like $575...I'll run the numbers when I go
back on Monday) and that includes twice annual FlightSafety courses for
five. But then, we're paying well under $2.00 a gallon for Jet-A...

Lucky dog!

Very good story. But strangely, rather than looking at KingAir pix, I'm
checking out steak joints.....

5:30 AM came mighty early today. But I wouldn't have traded last night

anything!

Quite a rush, huh!!

Maybe I can talk the boss into a trip out there and you can get some JetProp
time.

Do you have a Skyraider room? If so, he definitely WILL come out.

What's a JetProp? I'm up for it, whatever it is!

Well, that will depend on our decision regarding the Viet Nam era. I
suspect it will be called the "Phantom Suite" just because of the double
meaning of the word.

This is an important distinction for us. You and I know the "Memphis Belle"
suite is about a bomber, but most of our guests think it's decorated in an
English Country style, and sounds pretty.

"Skyraider" will probably be discarded for the same reason "Hellcat" was --
we just don't want that kind of name associated with the hotel, since the
uninformed (who make up the majority of our guests) will misinterpret the
meaning. (Heck, I even had the "Hellcat Suite" door plaque made before we
decided against *that* one...)

Twin Commander. It has a high wing...you might not like it...

Just like that thing that was parked next to me at OSH last summer!

High wing; low ass. A low-rider with wings.

Used to be the Rockwell JetProp, now it's called the Twin Commander. It runs
the spread from the 690 to the 695,A,B models. Twin TPE331-10 engines. The
most gut wrenching accelleration you've ever felt short of a Porsche.

Hmm...the Skyraider suite would have to be done up in jungle motif :~(

Well, just call the Skyraider room the "Sandy Room". :~)
