Airplane for a Tough Mission

[Geosync]

I'm late to the party but what they said- A King Air 100/200 series or PC-12. Although even old PC-12s are over $2 million now. Jet wise- Hawker 800xp. Good rugged airplane for a good price. It can be a bush plane as well-

Laceair 4P if you can find one. Most of them are turbine, fast as hell, if they don't have de-ice I bet it can be put in. Heck, they're experimentals, do whatever you want. 4 seater too.

so what did you end up buying?

Nothing yet. I'm planning for the spring/summer

I heard they're hard to get insurance on?

A King Air would be a dream come true. Just not sure I could justify the operating cost over a TP single. Not that I'm hoping to open that can of worms. If the bank heist goes well enough I'd probably go for it anyway

I suspect if you can get insurance on the aircraft under discussion you could insure a 4P. Same mission profile, similar hull value.
