    I wonder what Kelly thinks of Textron moving the Denali over from Cessna to become the heir apparent to the King Air 90.

    • @kellyharper5945
      @kellyharper5945 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.
