with joe on the c-310...a great 'big airplane' feeling twin with plenty of single-engine power, as opposed to say an old apache (yikes). logged maybe 500 or more hours in the old twin beech (be-18), but it was flight for a cargo outfit and the old radials had been pulled in favor of very loud garrett turboprops, the fuselage stretched about 10 feet and a free-castering nosewheel configuration, which was always fun seeing new pilots try to get the hang of taxiing. piper made an aztec, which was a pretty good twin. for speed and looks i always loved the twin commanche..never was a big fan of barons for some reason..felt too confining for my frame. maybe it was just having to do one too many instrument ratings for middle-aged men with money who could barely handle the thing. i even did one with throw-over controls. fun stuff..back when i had more balls than brains.
