I think I would put dead horses up above twins and helicopters. There are packing houses that buy dead horses. (see the thread about Food Inc.) Horse meat is also used in some dog foods. Only Henning would buy a twin. ;)
 
Where do turboprops fall? Above or below those horses sold for meat?
 
The only twin I'd consider would be the Twin Comanche. Same fuel burn as my single for the same speed. And can run E-Free 93 in it - so, actually the same cheaper to operate - engine mx notwithstanding.

PA-23-150 with auto gas STC not bad on gas a little slow but cheap to operate.

That's nice to know (since I'll probably end up selling my 140 soon).

:-(

or is it :-) ?
 
I don't think I can fold myself into a 152 anymore. Plus I have a 100lb dog who goes with me.
