[@anels9]

Man! The PA-42-1000, i dont think most people appreciate how rare and high performance this thing is

[@AviationNZTG]

Very rare and amazing little aircraft

[@craigpennington1251]

The PA-42/1000 is super cool. Best looking twin turboprop, bar none. Love the Stearman action also. Great video and NO music. Perfect.

If you are barring none then you are including the Beech Starship and nothing outshines the Starship.

Now wait just a minute. It's better looking than the Shorts SD3-30?

Looks like a Cheyenne 400LS, designed to compete with the Cessna Citation jets Very High performance machine and very rare.

[@AviationNZTG]

pretty similar

[@richardgreen7811]

Looks like a Cheyenne 400LS. The LS stands for Lear Siegler, who owned the line for a brief period. It can high speed cruise at 400mph and when 1st announced, it held the time to climb record with Chuck Yeager as pilot. With its pressurization system, it can cruise above 40,0000 ft. It also has a 14,000 hour hull limitation. Pretty rare plane today.

Thanks for that info! I never realised Chuck held that record, very interesting. It’s got a great sound to it. Also has great looking props. It sure is a rare aircraft, it’s the only one of type in Nz.
