Multi Time $150/hr. Wet
Looking for pilot(s) to share time in a Beechcraft Duke for $150/hr. Wet. Fly with A CFII/MEI out of Boise, ID. Hours can be used towards IPC, BFR, High Alt. Endorsement, or just time building. Respond to thread for details.

Definately an interesting aircraft, I've flown in one once and it's just easiest to describe it as different.

I have to make these flights regardless, so I may as well help someone else out and we can save each other some of the expense.
I guess I wasn't even thinking, it's like strapping two Mirage's/Matrix's together and combining their fuel burn(which is about 40gph initial, 32gph cruise climb, 20-22gph cruise)
