ORIGINAL: FLYBOY
Sweet, I used to fly a 58P once in a while that was owned by our company. I was off in the jet most of the time so I didn't fly it much. Nice planes though. I get to fly a friends new B36TC quite a bit. Man, that thing has all the toys.
Well I avg between 300-500 hrs a year and in a lot of heavy weather (except Ice & t-sorms when I can help it!) so the inst. are cheap life insurance. My dad, brother, and I all hold ATP rating with seaplane rating, hope to get my rotary add on in the near future.
our B-55 has 2 GNS 530's a Sandell effis HSI, WX-55, JPI and a KFC-200.
My B-58 has 1 GNS 530, radar, JPI, a old collins autopilot, and most import AC!, should have it equiped like our 55 by the end of next year.
I have some time in lear's, citation's, and a few turbo-props with the MU-2 being my favorite. But since I grew up on my dads knee in our B-55 the baron is by far the most comftrable plane to me as I have a gazillion hrs in it!
Oh I also have 2 Byrons B-58 barons one is being painted to match my real one! They also fly as good as the real thing!!
