Enclosed walking a definite plus there in the winter! I lived in and around RST for about 14 years. I managed the line department at the old FBO at the airport while learning to fly. Geez, thats nearly 20 years ago!

Diesel see you flew the 750. Had the opposite of your problem one day. Had a 700kts+ groundspeed in the CLIMB going from DAL to LUK.

 

[Diesel]

actually i still fly the X. I like the cockpit of the king air. Much more room.

Although yesterday i was wishing for the speed of the X.

I hope the plane isn't mad at me for giving her frostbite this week. God it looks cold out there.
