King Air C-90 Info

[JetPilot500]

One of the best things going is a stock C90 with run-out engines. At this point, put a pair of -34's on it, along with the Frakes pitot nacelles. Also include the Raisbeck 4 blade props and strakes. The latter two get you a 10,100 mtogw up from the original 9650.....

I don't know a thing about this mod, but if I were to ever buy an airplane it would be a runout one. I'd look for a plane that needs everything including Paint, Interior, Engines, Props (if required), Avionics, etc... However, it must have a decent maintenance history, with no major damage history. This is probally a plane you could get for a great price. Of course you'll have to spend some money. But if you buy a plane all decked out for $1M you could probally buy one that needs work for $500k. Now, spend another $500k, and you got a machine that is setup exactly how YOU want it with zero time engines. Your colors, your leather, your avionics package. Even if it ends up costing a little more than one that is already done, you got the machine you want.

IMO, definately the way to go.

Good Luck,

NBAA says tom allot about $90K for paint and interior on a c90a. I don't know if that is exactly a small consideration. I would pick up the Business and Commercial Aviation, August 2002 issue. It breaks down all the costs associated with many different King Air models. It will make you look like the all knowing flight instructor that you are deep inside.

By the way, I fly a 99 C90B. I concur with the comments above. It flies like a big bonanza. Go for the job!
