A learjet cabin? You must be joking, the entire plane, from tip or front
spinner to tip of rear spinner isn't much longer that a Lear cockpit. There
are lots of crazy ideas put there, but that's not as bad as the guys that
will take the PT6's off your aircraft and replace it with a
Garrett/Honeywell 331. And while they were at it, I hope they did something
about the high control forces that arose from the circuitous routing of the
control cables.

If it's a skymaster (mixmaster as it was called around town and in certain
parts of the company), it's good riddance. It only served one purpose: to
get cessna single owners in to a twin without them bailing ship to piper or
beech. Of course a rating in the mixmaster didn't qualify you to fly any
other twin, so, hope you love the additional engine work.
An outfit up in Wisconsin was taking those, removing both engines and
the nose. They then installed a single pusher turboprop (PT-6?) and a
Learjet cabin with full pressurisation. It could go to and land just about
anywhere.
