I agree the Bro is a blast to fly. But it's a very busy ride. When the airplane was designed in the late 70's it was way ahead of it's time; being fast, efficient, and well designed for harsh flying. BUT, it's past it's time and should be retired to the freight dog community. I enjoy my time flying it. It's a blast to be cleared for a visual at 11K over SFO - drop the gear, flaps 15, props MAX, power idle and you'll quickly find yourself doing 180 kts while descending at 4500-5000 ftm in a 30º turn. It’s basically a power off 180 in a Bro. It's a great airplane that's past it's regional time. Let's bring in the Q400s.
