I was lucky enough to get invited on a MU2 flight and would again in a heartbeat. Very cool airplane.

Well, ugly airplanes are just like fat chicks. They can be fun to ride, you just don't want your friends to catch you with one. :duck:

Thought that was about MoPeds....

I would fly with Jon C. Anyone who can base one at San Carlos has got to be good.

I think we need a little bit of MU2 porn.

I’ve done it before, and would do it again. Got a few hours in the right seat of the shortbodies that the 135 I used to work for had.

Thanks for the vote of confidence!

It’s actually not that hard to operate the Mits out of KSQL. Never an issue landing, of course, unless there’s a Cherokee landing in front of me... for some reason they always seem to need to roll to the end. :bat:

The Mits typically makes the midfield turnoff. :rofl:

Many posts reflect many opinions about MU2s. I am very curious to know from the highly esteemed Beechtalk crowd how many pilots would even go flying in one if given the opportunity? Let's assume fully qualified and experienced pilot and well maintained aircraft with favorable conditions. How many of you would pass just because you have concerns that the plane is inherently unsafe?

Only two can fly.

The rest have to be passengers. :lol:

Sorry, couldn't hep mysef. :popcorn:

Dan

(Yea, I'd go in a heartbeat.)

I had to vote yes, I have 4.4 hours in the right seat of a short body long ago. They're my only turboprop hours.

Mike C gave me a ride in his at DKX a year ago. It was amazing. I want one real bad! Can't convince my wife ... yet.

I've flown in an MU-2 a half dozen times. I enjoyed every flight and would be delighted to get another ride someday. This included icing at FL230 over Nevada and a night contact approach into Ogden, UT (KOGD).

Ride, schmide.

I would want to go through the whole training program.

Rides aren't the same. But, yes, I would go. I've wanted an MU-2 (among others) since I was a kid.

How many pilots would fly in an MU2?
