$5,000 cash

[N813CA]

I know this post has been out there before. My father flew back to MT for the summer and is now back in FL. The last annual was only $4200. If you look into AD's the duke only has about 4. Other airplanes like the 421 has 19 or more. If you know of anyone looking I will give you $5,000 cash if the deal happens.
I can promise you and the logbooks prove it that this is the cleanest nicest airplane you will ever find for $150,000. It is all hanger talk like the 421 was 15 years ago. My father is selling it because he is getting up there in age... If you see this let my father know .

Most people are trying to get rid of their twin recips. A Duke with mid time engines sold on e-bay for $65,000. I have a hard time believing that you'll be able to sell it for that price.

It's a shame, too, looks like a nice enough piece, there's just no market for them now.

1973 called...it wants its interior back! Nice plane I used to fly one of those but those engines burn 80 gph on takeoff!! That's $400/hour for fuel alone.

I talked to an aircraft broker friend of mine. He values a good Duke at $60k. That's one cabin twin that has taken a beating despite the fact that it's a great airplane. The non-geared c414 is the hot seller right now.

The non-geared c414 is the hot seller right now.

Seem to recall the 414 can barely climb on one engine. Or not in many situations...

Awesome compression on cylinder #1 on the right engine!!

 

[N813CA]

Yeah. The website messed that up. Obviously 79/80

Didn't the army use the Duke airframe and then put turbines on them... C-21 I think

 

[Captain Morgan]

Nope, the C-21 is a Learjet 35. But you are correct about it being fitted with turbines. Rocket engineering fitted the duke with PT-6's.

Ya they did, but the price of the pt-6 conversion you could buy a nice king air 90 or 200.

How do you navigate in there?

How do you navigate in there? I don't see any maps and stuff

In the army it was called the u-21 and I'm pretty sure the army doesn't have any jets allowed in their fleet!!!! It was called a u-21 and used to be a version of the duke with kingair engines, was unpressurized and until the mid 80's had no autopilot. My Dad flew them for part of his army Army aviation career.

The U-21 is an unpressurized King Air. It is similar to an A90.

Pretty sure? Low degree of certainty expressed on your part, perhaps with intention?

Maybe they are not allowed, but they are there anyway, along with the 155F MOS; Here is one example:

A variety of the things around certain airfields; Gulfstreams, Learjets, Citations. How could the offspring of an Army fixed wing puke be unaware of these things? Was your old man an RLO or something?

Ah good an a$$hole!!! My Dad was medical service corp and he flew uh1 and uh60's primarily. He flew the "queenair"(queenair with king air engines) for a brief time during his 27 year career. He retired as a full Bird Col!!! So he never saw the jet because if his career track... Ie Xo and Co of different battalions and Bridgades. But yes ahole... He was a pilot in the army and he even got to wear a flight suit and everything. Of course as most career military he had to do his time at non flying positions but he was primarily a pilot. He even had a position as platform instructor at the aviation sciences dept at ft Rucker!!!
You may want to refrain from further comment sir!!!

A$$hole? Dead on description! You must have spent some time in the cockpit with me!

So, you now aware the US Army does indeed "allow" jets in their "fleet." Consider yourself a somewhat better informed citizen.
