Thats the one. I had lots of failures with that Baron. I used to like to think of it as a great incident trainer! I had the nose tire go flat on landing in HYA, I had the left engine throttle cable snap at max power on T/O at OWD. I found that out on power reduction after take off. Had to shut it down. I had the heater fail in Febuary near ALB. I was in the right seat when the Attitude Ind failed one night when the entire east coast was 0/0. My friend was in the left seat. A former russian fighter pilot. He shot a flawless ILS to 4R in Boston when it was zero and 1/4 using the Turn Coordinator and HSI. If I remember there were numerous patches on the boots. You had to add a quart of oil per engine prior to each flight.

The things I did to build time!!!
