Wow, I never thought I'd see the BE99 grouped in a $#it list like that. Sure, it's slow and unpressurized, but grouped on the most hated list with the twin otter and the shorts 330.... really?
I personally love Beech turboprops. I could definitely see myself spending several years in a King Air if the job were right.
