Chris PC, thank you for the ride. I have a some time in a Beech V35 and a King Air C90 but always wanted to get into a Duke. Beautiful aircraft. Nothing like it. Keep the videos coming when you can!
Mine has not been a hangar queen. And to be honest with you I don't think the previous owners took care of her very well. I did have a valve failure that wiped out the engine but it had 1500 hours on it, and I don't think they had ever done a top overhaul. I have spent quite a bit of $ on catch up maintenance, but by choice. So my answer is no if the plane has been well maintained.
The B56 TC I flew had the same engines as your Duke does and every takeoff is a different one and I love them all
Beautiful aircraft

I have one for sale
Nice airplane Chris. Fantastic videos as always. Maintenance and finding parts for the Dukes must be expensive now days?
What’s is your power settings at that altitude now and your cabin pressurization at ? 30/25 perfect
Chris, is the Duke really a hangar queen like they say, re maintenance? It’s the best looking twin regardless.
