Poor man's jet? Piper 400ls has a faster climb rate than any citation low model or beechjet! The operating costs per hour are marginal compared to smaller business jets. Look into the stats in the cheyenne 400s. They are honestly very impressive.
@@bravocompany1072 I'm hoping to buy one next year but with so few made, replacement parts will cost a fortune and the operational cost compared to a brand new Diamon DA-62 is 2.5 times higher. That said, mine will be for personal use.
Very rare find. Only one of probably 30 left in the world. 42 were originally made. Many have crashed due to inexperienced pilots. The only true turbo prop hot rod.
The poor man’s jet ! A spectacular performing airplane .

@@bravocompany1072 C-GZPU suffered a hard landing last year, and the wing completely bent up
@@CycIic that is a shame. Hopefully there were no injuries.
@@bravocompany1072 nope, one of the passengers posted to Twitter "just another tuesday" with a picture of the crash
Alex Praglowski went there not too long ago. It looks like this airport is getting more love this year!
It is indeed, it's super fun to visit!
Sweet catch!
Thanks Cuyler!

RIP C GZPU
It wasn't a "dual engine start". It was one at a time.
I worked at Piper and started building these at SN# oo1 Not bad planes but I would not own any of the 1st 13 of them. They were all mess up
