I used to work out of FPR (not at aviator). Thier planes are definately not the prettiest on the block. Don't know exactly how good thier mx is but the BE76 is a very solid airplane. I did have a friend who used to work there that said most of the planes were high time and most of the time building flights were at night. The Duchess has a max range of about 6 hours so you can get from FPR to about as far away as Gainsville and back or KEYW and back without refueling. I would strongly suggest getting an MEI prior to all the time building so that everything can be "instruction given". Have 100 hours multi w/ half of it "as safety pilot" can look a tad fishy.
