Mitsubishi MU-2?

[Pilot Oatmeal]

Should I just send it to him? or ask him what he needs even though he sort of said no on here?

Just post it here with all your sources. Don't forget climb speed etc.

He checks all posts and if he needs something, he uses the forum search. So I think it's better than send him a private message... especially with his statement some posts ago.

Amazing... I love this plane, we flew it to Texas once to escape a hurricane (forget which one) and we refuelled at what was surely an old cow boy town hahaha ... gonna see if I can post some pics of it :p

Yeah i heard about that one, i believe they also made a documentary about it called "2012" 

Just kidding. Im so jealous

I do actually agree with Mr Oates, it's a nice looking aircraft and I disagree with those who think they can't make a profit - all you have to do is set the moo-lah up properly and it should work... I've seen some do it in aws, so don't hate on them. 

Cheers,

MU-2 is already a business jet -sized plane and those will not be included (ie. pure bizjets, like Citation etc.). Some of the smallest regionals are the same class, true, but they've been and are used in actual regional operations and I believe Mitsu is a pure corporate plane (with some rare exceptions probably?).

I really would like to see say the Global Express or Gulfstream V/G500/550.

I know there pure bizjets, but there size and range can add a new concept for LH flying. I think it would be worth it to venture into that aspect of AWS.

You could add restrictions to the layout conf like no Y class allowed for anti-frequency protection if need be.

What do you think we would need to bring this to AWS?
