A few years ago when I owned both air and ground ambulance services. My primary plane was a Beechcraft King Air B200. I didn't own it, just leased it, which especially nice when the engines needed the routine maintenance at $400K each. Wearing my two-tone 16613.


One of my ambulances and the King Air:





My business partner and I. Our secondary plane was a Piper Cheyenne.

I don't spend "massive" amounts of time on planes, but I do travel a good bit.

In my many years in the international oil business, my 1680/8 sub and I traveled slightly more than 2 million air miles that I can reliably tally. It survived flights in modern passenger jet aircraft and old piston prop aircraft including DC3's, Convair 440's, and other.

I was thinking the same thing... But I'm a little concerned about the meeting going on around the jet engine before take off!

They need 30W motor oil, preferably Quaker State, and some ball bearings.
