Cool! My pal Christian got to fly one of those King Air's last month out in
Washington! He said it was a blast... I used to run up the P&W TF-33's on
the C-141's all the time when I was a jet mechanic, but never got to take
'em anywhere... sigh. Now THAT'S a load of thrust! Sure was fun firing 'em
up, though!
