    Jet ride along!

    All depends on the mission. The King air 200 I fly is great for the company, most trips are in the 100 to 350 mile range, we can carry a load,tanker our own fuel, and go to the flight levels, on a average trip we are within 5 minutes of a jet, we can still go long if need be at a nice speed.

    I own a warrior and fly a 69-F model Mooney with all the 201 mods. Nothing beats speed, and I have yet to meet a pilot that wants to go slow. ( except cub drivers), my warrior partner flys a 2004 ovation and it is faster than my F model and guess what? I want the ovation. I am 5-10 and 195 and I...
