Wow, a turboprop? Nice plane, but is FSU already pinching pennies? |

Are people being derisive about it being a twin engine prop plane? That's a King Air 350... it does have propellers but they're powered by turbine engines, it's an $8 million dollar airplane that will do 350 mph while cruising at 35,000 feet. Not as fast as a Learjet which is doing 450 mph but burns a lot less fuel and has a ton more room inside and usually nicer creature comforts than the Lear which is cramped. That King Air is like a limousine. Not the fastest way to get from point A to point B but very close to as fast as a commercial airliner and typically they're fitted out for luxury inside, and pretty economical to operate. Would be perfect for zooming up and down the eastern seaboard chasing recruits if the University uses it regularly for their coaches. |

Unless it has a refueling stop scheduled, its going to land 235 miles short of the runway. |

waaaait a minute.
Somebody is screwing around filing bogus flight plans, lol. That isn't a real flight, a King Air doesn't have the range to go nonstop from Eugene to Tallahassee and won't do 403 mph as filed lol. Max cruising speed is like 307 ktas and they would be 600 miles short of their destination when they ran out of fuel.
whoosh... that's the sound of the joke going over my head

With many campuses in small towns with airports of little activity, a flight between A and B won't get lost like in the larger airports. I also thought the "CFB" in the tail number was cute. |

That you know not only what a King Air 350 is, but its specifications, is simply awesome. |

My old man, coming up on 72 years old this New Years, is still flying a Turbo Commander for the USFS during fire season. He's still refusing to hang up his spurs, the old cowboy haha. These days he's the Chief Pilot and he's responsible for the training and relief not the daily grind of flying fires. He sends me some pretty crazy pictures from a day at the office:  |
