I want some opinions, cuz I don't know!

[FN FAL]

No FN you completely misunderstood---the link was exactly what I was looking for! I appreciated it and have already ordered---I was just laughing at the rest of your message about the subjective nature of any other advice I might receive on here. I'm my own kind of smarta**, but when somebody gives me some serious help I say thank you---so thank you!

As far as the big single turbines---I'd rather have one any day, I think a Pilatus would be SHWEET, but the buy in prices are MUCH more than we're willing to spend at this point! Neither of us is afraid of the single engine thing, heck read my posts on the Cirrus to tell you what I think of a good single, but them Swissies charge lots for their airplanes---as do the TBM700 sellers, etc.

In that case, stay away from the Duke. It will bankrupt your investor friend. Good luck.

I got about 1800 hours in Aztecs, Senecas, Navajos, 310/320/340/414's. They all have their nuances, pluses and minuses.

One thing that we noticed in trade a plane type publications, was the low airframe time P-Navajos were pretty reasonably priced against high airframe time regular Navajos. The used aircraft buyers guide woke us up to what was going on there...you'll find it interesting reading.
