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.
