A few pics of the 2 King Airs we have based here in La Ronge, SK.

This is the King Air 100 that I'm flying.  It's a great machine, tons of fun.  It's a little slow compared to the 200, but it gets the job done.

She's our dedicated medivac aircraft at the moment.

I'm training on the 200 this week, can't wait!

Flying King Airs in the north is tons of fun!

Thanks for looking  Cool

Those are some nice looking planes (although I will say, when they taxi by you, they smell terrible  Grin Grin ). Have fun with the training.

Cool

Lucky! The King Air is my favorite GA aircraft in the simulator (not that I'd dare actually piloting one of these).

I love the smell of burning Jet A in the morning... it's nice here in Newark when the wind is out of the SE.  Grin
Some slick irplanes, there... lucky you!

Thanks for posting those shots, I remember you saying you were on the King Air...well done... Smiley

Now I know how disappointed you must feel not being able to fly a real aircraft like the old radial single engine Otter...but given time...several years you will get over it... Grin

Just kidding...out of all the aircraft I flew like the Canso (Pigboat), DC3, 4 and 6 with good many others thrown in for good measure the old Stoneboat "Otter" was my favourite.... Grin

She was a lady with class and you ain't lived until you have rolled an Otter.... Grin  Keep the pictures coming when you get a chance and have fun... Wink
