Wow, an insurance company that WANTS you to fly a Duke! Here's my
take:
1. When it comes to a Duke, if you have to ask the prices, you can't
afford it. And if you can afford it, the newsgroup isn't a place to
ask questions. It'll be your accountant's office.
2. The annual trips to Flight Safety for recurring training can
really bite into your schedule.
3. A Duke is generally an aircraft for people that have more money
than sense, or control a company that will probably never get audited.
4. Look elsewhere, as Beech's support for the Duke is RAPIDly going
down hill. |
I suspect the comments above are regurgitated bs.
Dukes are alive and well. Thirsty, but all big big bore twins are. I doubt, the poster has owned a Duke.
