In this video we met with Michael, who owns and flies a 1977 Beechcraft King Air C90 with plenty of upgrades. The airplane is capable of operating on runways under 3,000 feet while still featuring more than 4,000 pounds of useful load. With the reliability of a second engine and seeing cruise speeds upwards of 260 knots, the King Air is a perfect choice for comfortable and safe travel. King Air models are still being designed and built by Textron today, making it the longest production run of its class.

Glad this came up in my RU-vid feed. I was having a hard time deciding between buying a King Air C90 and making rent this month with enough left over to buy some jelly for my PB&Js.

Lol, yes its interesting to see an alternate 'lifestyle!! '

@Sturzi 5 месяцев назад

Yeah, my family was a bit frustrated when I bought the C90. All the neighbous travelled in larger vessels, Challengers, Falcon 50's, Lears, you name them. They were ashamed to board that Microlight (

Not everyone can afford light jets. Some of us grew up in the hood and could only afford King Airs. This comment just shows me how out of touch you are with middle America.

@@trevoC132 At least your rough childhood gave you the bold personality to not be ashamed of driving one of those Beech spamcans. See you in the pattern!

Thank you Dakota and Michael for sharing this flight with us.

I grew up in a Mooney Super and a Mooney Ranger family business planes out of the San Francisco Bay area. Now all I fly is Microsoft Flight 2020. Miss it every day. Thanks again 4 sharing 🙂

Back in '02 I had the great pleasure to be part of a team that chartered a King Air C90 to take us from Centennial to all over Ohio for a cell phone company. I have a challenge with getting ill when I fly if I can't maintain my horizon so I sat right seat for the whole trip. What a wonderful plane. Wonderful flight.

I got the family and vacation home I just couldn't get the plane well 2 out of 3 ain't bad😆

Love the older King Air C-90A Blackhawk airplanes! That’s so much what I picture as an older business or company plane from the 70s-80s and then the new Super King Air (no longer called that anymore) like the King Air 250 or 350 aircraft! 😊

@iflyem3582 3 месяца назад

Nice video. I did most of my multi engine training in a C90. One suggestion, it's good practice to run your strobes from the time you enter the runway and leave them in until you you exit the runway at your destination. The only time I turn them off is if I'm IMC at night.

@dr.strangelove7739 5 месяцев назад

Best to check your rudder cables for proper tensioning. The rudder problem sounds like a problem a fellow youtuber was having while the autopilot was engaged. The airplane was rocking back and forth very slowly, only noticeable when speeding up his videos during replay. His problems were w/ailerons, but rudder cables can do the same. Poorly tensioned cables cause lots of problems with flight surfaces and can be a sign of cable failure which can lead to catastrophic problems. Check your cables for stretching, corrosion, tensioning, chafing, and whatever else your mechanic feels necessary!

All the King Air models are excellent stable platforms. And a pleasure to fly. (Except for the K-100) As long as you keep the 6's spooled up they are a dream to fly.
