I note in the simulation of the Baron in MSFS (Dreamfleet's
simulation), there's a button on the left side of the pilot, part of several rows of buttons, marked "Ejection seat." I don't know if this is a joke on the part of the developers, or something that really exists in the aircraft. In the latter case, the only reason I can think of for it would be if it were something that existed on a military version of the aircraft. Is it really there? -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

My Baron is equipped with the optional Aces II ejection seats in the front
only. Rather than a ballistic parachute, Beechcraft offered the option of ejection seats. They are zero-zero (will deploy a chute at zero altitude and zero forward velocity). The seat pan has a deployable survival kit as well as a self inflating raft. |

The Beechjet has a StarTrek matter-transporter that will
beam the passengers and cargo safely to the ground at the nearest discrete place, then it switches to phaser mode and destroys the aircraft so there is no dangerous debris falling on any city.

My Bonanza also has the optional ejection seat. Since mine is the lower powered rocket Beech had to install the V tail. Pilot and passenger pass thru the Vee in an emergency. |

LOL
BTW, matter transmission as done on StarTrek can NEVER happen and just because of the Heisenberg (sp) effect. Einstein's equation works both ways, E=MC^2 means that to create matter with a weight equal to a person would require the energy of several thousand atomic bombs, under full control and without destruction of the mechanism.

No idea, the BE400 is available in military versions as the
T-1 Jayhawk. I have never seen a Beech plane with sloppy metal work, the Beechjet is especially well done. There could be a composite material making some sort of antenna. If you see it again, take a picture and get the N-number. -- James H.

Hell Jim, I'm still trying to deal with Scrodenger's cat and after dinner I have to find why Fermat outsmarted both me and the Pythagoreans with the 3rd exponent!!! :-))) Dudley |

Don't know for sure. It could be a military version with
air to air refueling added and the "plate could be a shield for the pressure vessel with the repecepticle. It could be CIA. I'd be interested in what it is.
