Queen Air

[Lance F]

A friend gave me a chance to fly a Queen Air today. What a neat old plane. Quite easy to taxi, TO, cruise and land. It can't fly all that fast or high, but it was very smooth and solid. Overall, a good experience. And I got 2 TO's, 2 landings and 0.7 of left seat time in a BE65 for my logbook

Lance gets to have too much fun, remember what he flies in his spare time?

Sounds like a good time! The Queen Air seems like a neat plane.

Very cool Lance! I wouldn't mind getting some time in one of those myself! I'm kinda on a multi kick after getting some time in a BE20.

Lance, where was that? There was a bird sitting up at GVL much of the time I thought was a Queen Air.

 

[Lance F]

Ken, It may have been at GVL for awhile. I just don't know. It's based in Winder KWDR now.

Don't know if the AF still has any Queen Airs (C-12s if memory serves) but the ones they had back in the 70's had King Air engines and that really woke them up.

Twins are addicting, aren't they!







The airplanes people, keep it clean!
