Ahha! That's a King Air 200, but the one in the bone yard looked a lot like a
90. Two very different aircraft, but both good.

The RAF used King Air 90's as trainers? You guys must have had some money.
Those were original luxury corporate aircraft. I have always heard that they
are a joy to fly.

Nice shot, Jim. I’m glad that I never flew one of those, mainly because it
would have meant that I was training to be a truck driver (they were
multi-engine trainers in the RAF), but also for all the procedural instrument
flying I would have had to do :-)
