The Beechcraft I have flown in a few times out of KSEE has one of those in it (I'm pretty sure it is a 696). I'm amazed at having an airport diagram available for taxi with your airplane tracking right down the screen

Of course just like this thread discusses - I found myself looking more at the screen than outside the cockpit

Unfortunately - I am in Pt Mugu today just taking a look at the facilities and aircraft and I can say with *certainty* that a 696 would NOT fit in that cockpit! Hummmm....did it get smaller over the years or have I grown??? (No need to answer
