Corporate B-52.

Shorts.

Or an MU2

We operate a PC-12 and a BE350. The PC-12 is a dependable airplane but nothing beats a King Air IMHO. The 350 is a great plane and very reliable. It is a blast to fly.

You could always go NASCAR style and go for the E-120.

Seriously though, I would think the King Air 200 would fit that role pretty well. I think PC-12s are great, but there's always that "warm fuzzy" factor with having the 2nd PT-6 out there.

KA are pretty pricy, look at a TC-690 with -10 engines. Fast, low per mile cost, reasonable price.

I agree with yip, Turbo Commanders are sweet for the money. Would be a great fit.

If you can swing it a 441 would be a good fit also, albeit pricey.

Merlin! and Garretts sound better than Pratts!

almost as fast a King Air 200, flys almost as far, half the price and looks much cooler

Thanks everybody. Seems like the KA is winning the vote. I'll look into the other options as well. I've flown J-32s but never a KA. I think she secretly wants to fly the plane someday, therefore the interest in the TBM. We'll see. Always more fun shopping with other peoples money.
