The move of the Denali to Beechcraft makes sense based on the linage and success of Beechrcraft in the turboprop world. Textron competes in a variety of the market segments and watched the growth of the single engine turboprop market. Secondly the Denali is the launch platform for the GE Catalyst powerplant so the certification efforts have been two fold. While production numbers of the 90 continued to decrease the airplane still served a desirable market, however when there are higher production numbers of other Textron models the company ultimately choose to cease production. Thanks, Kelly
@@kellyharper5945 thank you for the reply. I agree that Beech has been the leader in Turboprop Business class aircraft, but with the Caravan and the new Sky Courier, I personally thought the Denali made a nice addition to the Cessna lineup. But, I see the logic in your statement. Thank you for allowing me to see another aspect I had not considered before.
@@emtae65 Wikipedia disagrees with you. "Announced at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2015, the aircraft is a completely new design, not derived from any existing aircraft."
Absolute dream airplane. I've loved the King Air since I was a kid when we had one fly over our house regularly at KSYR. So, coming up on 4 decades since that time, I've *always* thought that the King Air was one of the best looking airplanes in the sky (in my mind, the only competition for looks is now the Epic 1000 GX - wowsers is that a good looking plane). I'm just a "lowly" private pilot that's too old now to get into biz aviation at 50 years old, but man... I would love to fly one of these some day. If you ever come through St. Louis (KSTL, KCSP, KSUS) give me a holler! :D
I owe my life to a King Air. The Royal Flying Doctor Service in Australia has a fleet of 200s and 350s in the eastern states. They do amazing work. I was transported from Innisfail to Townsville in one (while on life support) in far less than ideal conditions in 2011 after a bad car accident. Our rescue helicopter service couldn’t fly due to inclement weather and the RFDS was called in.
As great as the KA looks, they never re-shaped the windscreen and got rid of the wipers? Maybe too structurally complicated but they just look a little out of place. Beautiful plane! Thanks! --gary
Wow - King Air pilots carry a well-deserved, confident swagger - and how about that landing at Flag! Slick as a boiled onion. The thing I recognized is how neat the sight picture is from a King Air on approach and landing - maybe it's my imagination but it seems different/cooler than other twins - including the bank to final. Only slight disappointment is omission of what should have been nice shots of the Frisco Peaks, which I'm guessing would have been conveniently positioned left abeam on downwind to base for 21. Passenger in the back should have been tasked on that. Any snow on there yet? I grew up on a ranch on Mingus Mountain, about 40 mi. SSW of the Peaks - our radio telephone service came in line of sight from a repeater there - way before cell phone days - it was hillbilly cell service....lots of "over" and "say again" in the conversations.
I most likely would never step up to a twin, but I gotta admit that is a beautiful conversion/upgrade to a 20 year old plane, she looks like new! Do you ever use the wipers? They look out of place on a modern plane. Kelly knows his stuff, what a great addition to the team!
A 300 is actually not a 200 with different engines. It is a 350 with a 28" shorter fusealage. 300/350 share: triple bus electrical system pitot style engine inlets (huge advantage over 200 "smiley face" inlets 3 spar wing 300/350 have same wing, same fuel capacity, landing gear. Many other lesser items but for sure NOT a 200.
I just started flying a 350 for a 135 operator, and I love the plane; it's a beast. Our panel is identical to the "before" photo, but the owner is thinking about a 650/750 upgrade.
Very nice. I fly a couple of newer Proline 21s and a very original EFIS 85 UNS-1w. The Keats system is nice but definitely not without its flaws. I find we operate in manual most of the time.
Very nice plane, it's a shame the jets were discontinued. As i understand it, the company also set out to get into the automotive industry, designing and building a prototype called the Plainsman, though it was eventually cancelled. Thanks Rich
My company designs and manufactures a NLG door kit for KA 200, 250, 300, amd 350. How can I get it into the production line of Textron? May I send some samples?
Got my ATP on my BE300 Type ride at Simuflight DFW with a Single Pilot Endorsement. I was pretty proud of that when I got out of the sim that day. Flew 25 years / 12.5K hours with no incidents, accidents, or violations flying 91, 135, and 121 and have been retired for the last 5 years. I don’t miss one thing about any of it. Nice airplane. We had a 3 tube with steam gauges on the co-pilots side.
@@FlyingwithRich if I had gotten paid to eat steak and lobster and have sex all day for 25 years I would probably be tired of that too. Well, maybe not 😂.
Nice video Rich. The King Air 350 has great ramp present in my opinion. How roomy is the cockpit? Would a guy who's 6'5 have trouble feeling comfortable?
Same technique we use for our King Airs. Lower noise. Less drag. And we don’t use reverse anyways (you can still use it, but fuel topping governor limits reverse RPM to 96% of selected RPM).

I wonder what Kelly thinks of Textron moving the Denali over from Cessna to become the heir apparent to the King Air 90.
The move of the Denali to Beechcraft makes sense based on the linage and success of Beechrcraft in the turboprop world. Textron competes in a variety of the market segments and watched the growth of the single engine turboprop market. Secondly the Denali is the launch platform for the GE Catalyst powerplant so the certification efforts have been two fold.

@@kellyharper5945what are the odds we see an updated King Air with the Catalyst engines, G3000, and auto throttles?
Thing is the Denali was a king air to begin with it was the engine contract that almost made it a Cessna.
@@emtae65 Wikipedia disagrees with you. "Announced at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2015, the aircraft is a completely new design, not derived from any existing aircraft."
Honestly, this is the plane I dream about. Jets are great but there’s just something about those props and power plant nacelles hung on the wing.
I agree! Can’t duplicate that in a jet.
Ditto….
Would be better if this has a wooden fuselage and two Rolls Royce Merlin engine 😁
Piaggio P-180 Avanti?
They did a great job on that install, looks factory new. Overall gorgeous plane, wow!

Beautiful aircraft. Another excellent video, Rich. Thanks!
Reminds me of the days I flew the BE1900D. 1000 hours in it. Fun!
Beautiful aircraft indeed
I miss the 1900D but I don't miss building the engine mounts for it ...a real beast the get aligned for install

Shut up and take my money!!!!
this is my dream plane, love the King Air 350. great video rich and best regards from germany
Thank you!
I just spotted a 350 flying from MCE to HNL. It appears to have taken about 7 hours. I was really impressed with it’s range.

man~ Thanks- colo edition!all the best, 💥
Please do a part 2 to this video... Well done...
❤ the King Air! Best all around private plane!
Coo pilots and great plane will be nice to deal with one of them
Kelly is the f$&kin man! Glad to see him at ocr
Thanks Robert!
Great video, Rich! An amazing conversation between you two.
D does this airplane come with the total wine 21 Fusion
Man them 350's are such beautiful aircraft
They really are. Thanks for watching!
It's what you think of when you think of the word "airplaine"
Would be better if this has a wooden fuselage and two Rolls Royce Merlin engine 😁
This is my second one. Honestly the best I've traveled in and flown

I really want to use the wipers! Never have - just haven’t flown the King Airs enough!
Come to Vancouver BC. I’m surprised our motors haven’t worn out.
Even then, the wipers only have two speed. Too fast and way too fast.
@@calvinnickel9995
Too funny…..
What did you shoot this video with and old smartphone
Yes. And GoPros.
A 300 is actually not a 200 with different engines. It is a 350 with a 28" shorter fusealage.

Many other lesser items but for sure NOT a 200.
Nice plane. Now all you need are -67s and some 5 blade composite props on it......
Awesome love your videos Rich. Big King Air fan. Any Ocr Aviation hats left... Lol.
We will have more giveaways in the future! Thank you!
@@FlyingwithRich Was just joking but will be on the lookout for the next one. Keep the videos coming. Thanks.

I'm sure this guy is sick of hearing me on the radios at KDVT, non stop instruction flying
Good video good aircraft

Yes they are!

All hail the King! Thanks Rich. Please keep them coming.
Will do!
Great informational video!! Thanks Rick!! Blessings
Thank you!
Beautiful plane 👍👍thanks for the video rich
Thank you for watching!
@@FlyingwithRich just seen the news mate hope you guys are safe from the tornadoes 👍👍
Nice flight and great history on the King Air. Thanks
Thanks!
What’s even more interesting is that the Queen Air came from the Twin Bonanza.. and the first Merlins were based on Queen Air wings and gear.
Just a little further and you could have gotten some nice Grand Canyon shots.
How far can the King Air fly Kelley? Sorry if I missed it.
Nice Breitling
Thanks.
The OCR crew all there , Deer Valley UT , nice hope can get a 100 turns , didn't see any gear what's snow report.
Deer Valley Airport in Phoenix!

Esa nave es una real belleza,, debe ser como un sueño volar en ella
So this beauty, even 20 years old, with all the upgrades and STCs, would go for... about $7.9M??
No - I think around $5-$6M.
I’m going to fly 350 soon. Going for Type Rating next month. I’m so excited
Nice. Great type rating!
Nice - great type rating.
Thanks Rich & Kelly
Everyone: "Great plane!"
Orville and Wilbur Wright: "NO WAY!"

The MSFS 2020 model of this plane does not appear to have spoilers nor reverse thrust. What a bunch of BS.
Fabulous upgrades. Wish I were rich! (I mean monetarily).
Men am just thinking about the cost of remodelling the king air 350 and all the paper works.
good one, rich!
She is beautiful both in the cabin, cockpit and the overall shape, size and color.❤
No checklist great

Sounds like a great career - surprised to hear you don’t miss it.

Now it makes sense!
Hasta cuantos pasajeros puede llevar en rutas cortas, el King Air 350 remodelado
I would like to get the opportunity to work with both of you guys at OCR as a rep for aircraft sales here in the Northeast area where I’m based
Too bad couldn’t filter background transmissions.
does this one require the 24hour checklist as well?
Standard King Air!
How much does it cost to put a g1000nxi on a king air 350?
does this airplane is as noisy inside passenger cabin as the Fairchild Metro liner II ?
Man I fucking love turboprops
😎👍🌈🛩
I fly the Boeing, but man, i would love to fly the King Air. It brings back the real fun of flying. I miss that nowadays.
I would love to fly a Boeing!
Nice video Rich. The King Air 350 has great ramp present in my opinion. How roomy is the cockpit? Would a guy who's 6'5 have trouble feeling comfortable?
Not super easy to get into like a lot of airplanes, but very comfortable once you are seated. Should be fine for 6-5 but I would try it out.
c 12 huron was my ride nice upgrades
Great video Rich!
I’ll fly into long beach one day as I am close by (fly out of Livermore), maybe I’ll visit lol
Stop by!
What’s with all the King Air engine problems/crashes right after takeoff?? I heard “throttle creep”?
Throttle creep for for sure based on what I have read.
Interesting you land with props low RPM and then bring them forward after landing is this a new technique
Same technique we use for our King Airs.
Lower noise. Less drag. And we don’t use reverse anyways (you can still use it, but fuel topping governor limits reverse RPM to 96% of selected RPM).
(sigh) Not a checklist in sight.
Hey Rich I love the security gate
KingAir and the T-Tail.
The number of windows
I was 5 years old flight with a second kid and he push pulled it for 5 min ,)
The coolest Machine ever ,)
My home airport :-)
Great video about one of my favorite aircraft.
He also greased the landing!
Thanks!
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 Those PT-6 Engines
Question can King Air land on non pavement landing stripes like the Kodiak
Yes.
Looking very nice.
I like your videos. Thanks for sharing
Thank you!
Nice aeroplane!
bus selector?
Rich were can I get one of those polos????
Maybe we will have some to giveaway at our fly-in next year!
I fly the 200 with the NXI #medevac
That's great! Thanks for watching!
Not a very impressive video, sorry
A very impressive comment though. Thank you.
Any links to videos about flying the little king air?

Sweet plane!
How come he takes off in low-idle (ground-idle)?
Rode in my company Cessna Conquest many times, I just prefer to ride in our Citation IV/V, Matt Guthmiller not withstanding! Lol
