Is this realistic to expect?

I just saw an add for a MU-2 typed-captain with no accident history. Is that possible? Are there any experienced MU-2 drivers who haven't balled one up?

You really are a dumba$$ if you even have to ask that. It's an airplane...you just have to have half a brain to fly the thing safely. Apparently, you wouldn't be capable of being in command of an MU2.

That's really nice butt breathe, however I didn't see you claim no incidents in your previous rambling.

Am I onto something? hmmmmm

 

[TimsKeeper]

And also you are correct, I have a full brain. So therefore it is understandable you would type such a half-baked comment.

Sure thing there, slick. No accidents, no incidents here. The MU2 was a fun airplane to fly - and not the devil machine you and others make it out to be. It got a bad rap because it was a very high performance aircraft in its early days(and still is a high performance turboprop), and had to be flown properly - yet, there were too many pilots flying them that didn't have the experience and/or training to do so. I understand, though...you're scared of the MU2, so you claim it to be an unsafe abomination.

No type rating required for a MU-2 (under 12.5K).

I know a guy that has 5,000 hours in a MU2 and not a problem yet

Generally, it is guys that have only flown trainers like KingAirs and Citations that cannot handle a real airplane like an MU2 or a Lear. So leave these airplanes to those with the skill and knowledge to fly them. We don't need more crappy pilots blaming their lack of skill and knowledge on an airplane.

Wow, I wanna be a big real airplane pilot like you someday!

I use to run into many with flawless records back in the day when I would frequent IND. It isn't the airplane that is the problem my friend..
