I flew the King Air platform for many years. The King Air 350ER has become the 'Go To' ISR platform for the US and many NATO countries. Their capabilities are remarkable and increasing every day. You may consider doing a program on them. They can be found from South America, North America (yes spying on US citizens) and all across Africa and the Middle East.
They carry only defensive and ISR tools, but they have been in the middle of some very high profile operations and battles.
Many question sending men and women into harms way when a drone has similar capabilities, but there is no substitute for having actual eyes in the are.
Keep up the good work my friend.

Man who ever put those plastic bottles in the engine are kinda VERY uncool

[@aviationwalkarounds]

Veru very uncool. Unfortunately sone people are not aware of what things mean

[@user-yy9hk9od9u]

China still uses a copy of this plane. They still use the same Russian jet engines to this day.

[@aviationwalkarounds]

Yes, I actually filmed a walkaround video of that Chinese bomber in Beijing. Its here in the channel.

[@aviationwalkarounds]

People will be people, and some go to museums and have no idea of the value of the things in them.

It's a medium Bomber. I'm sorry, but if you can't even get the title of the video right... Park this next to a B52 to get an idea of what is conaidderd a heavy Bomber after WW2.

[@aviationwalkarounds]

In the infirmation I found about the bomber, it is described as heavy. Unfortunately I dont know how aircrafts are classified exactly. Thank you for your contribution.

[@TheNecromancer6666]

@aviationwalkarounds That's a not so rare mistranslation. The Tu16 in its early life was often described as a "Medium ranged strategic bomber", for its ability to carry strategic nuclear weapons. But it was always a medium Bomber, it didnt have intercontinental range or the bombload of a heavy bomber. Most stratetic bombers were heavy bombers, with intercontinental range and are significantly larger. For comparison, the B52 has an MTOW of 200-220 tons and the Tu95 of 150-180tons. The Tu16 has an MTOW of 75,8 tons and weighs 36 tons empty. The B52 could carry an empty Tu16. That's why the Tu16 is a medium bomber.
