In my youth, I did look a little like JMV. Now, closer to Ernie Borgnine!

It's 23 x 3000. The tall trees are 200' from the threshold. Maybe this will do the trick:

It's also dealing with an FBO, getting a rental car lined up for off-hours pickup, returning the rental, paying for the rental, Millionaire parking costs, $6.50 fuel, etc.

Yep, if I had 3 million for an airplane I wouldn't have a problem!

No doubt, which is why I put it to the group for opinions. It's really two aircraft. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Here's the actual destination airport. And probably one of the two aircraft I need! A more typical arrival/departure:

Hey it's only someone else's money!

maybe; I think the costs are largely based on keeping a working airplane working. As a personal transport where there's no gotta be somewhere, I believe that some of the costs can be mitigated. Still rich for sure, but everything I've encountered that can do the job has the same trade-offs. I...

Turbo is going to help TO over the trees on high DA days, no?

Thanks for looking out for me, xHangie, and I have to laugh since I just turned 60. But I have to say I don't think I'm slowing down just yet- I have a pretty cranial-demanding job, so I'm constantly exercising the noggin, and physically I'm in decent shape. I don't expect to be doing anything...

I'm aware of the inspections stuff, and how the "maintenance facilities" treat them as do-it-fast-rip-it-out-and-replace-it-don't-care-how-much-it-costs plan for the revenue birds. Supposedly there's a "low utilization" option if you work with an independent shop and can live with some downtime..

Starting to look like I need a C90 if I want fast (relatively), pressurized, not going to put me into the trees if OEI at the wrong time, and short field. Busts the budget by at least 1.5x for an oldie but maybe goodie for low annual hours...

Sadly a Duke won't cut it close to MGW. Surprised no one mentioned a Navajo; perhaps a 340A with RAM?

How's the short field performance?

That could work, plus I can use it for boat operations.

Milk run would be to/from a 2750' runway to a 3000' runway, both narrow but paved, both a few hundred above MSL so never see more than 3000' DA worst case, and neither have IAPs but nearby longer runway airports do. The shorter runway has significant trees (130') a couple hundred feet from the...

If you have boots, you're SOL.

What happens to your ice protection if the engine stops and you need to descend through icy clouds in an emergency?

How much time do you want to spend at check-in to give them your luggage, and then wait for it on the carousel? Both directions.

"It's our policy."

ha, they haven't measured the output of my Wawa Breakfast Burrito.
