Anyone ever seen one?

Does one even exist? I've never seen one.

Only a Turbine 210 and Turbine A-36.

IMHO, the turbine A-36 is a silly airplane, with a crazy fuel burn, short range, and speed not different enough to matter on most flights.

It sure sounds cool on the ramp, though.

I'm trying to imagine a PA-32 with a nose even longer than normal to balance out a light turbine. Yikes.
