Here's why I think this is a "Pilot's Airplane"

Below 10,000 feet you will outfly every aircraft there is (you're 2 knots short of 250, or 3 in the C model), you have gobs of power, simple systems and the ability to be at barber pole 1/2 mile from the runway and still land on the "refrigerator bars". Many a times descending into FAI with us 30 north and Alaska 30 south of the field we would beat them in by more than 5 minutes.

Hey Herb,

The south ramp at HNL was my home for 30 years and 10 of those in that old HATS hangar.

Nice pic. Was Mac around that day?

Hey Guy correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that an old Gulfstream C model?

I enjoyed the 1900 and miss it a lot. Had op to fly both C and D models. I always thought the C model was easier to land in x-winds, but i definitely enjoyed the extra SHP on the D model. Would love to fly it again! I flew one 1900 with a sub-par A/P and the interconnect (don't quote me) always froze and the A/P always disconnected, so we rarely used it.

If you are talking about the D model, I believe it was all taken care of about 3 years ago. At Skyway we had all of ours in and out in a day or two after the AD came out. Hope I answered your question. I think they were just looking for cracks in the spar, if I remember correctly some 1900s had some severe cracks.

The Aft Spar AD still requires an inspection every 200 hours and pictures to be taken of the area prone to cracking. As far as I know the are still working on a revising the AD so the time between inspections is greater.

Especially when I was single pilot and digging out charts.
Are the EMB120 and King Air similar as well?
