My thoughts on MU2
As a fun-loving young man,
I scanned the various options, before buying my helicopter.
Back then you could find a small Cessna Paris Jet.
Remember those? Was it even four seats? Cool!
Most obvious problem was 1950's engines would use $200 of fuel before you took off.
That was when fuel was what, $1/gal ...or less?
Having decided AGAINST buying a 1969 Ferrari Dino targa,
because parts would be difficult...
Instead geting a Lotus Eclat, that required 4AM calls to Cheshire England.
I was being "practical"
The MU2's were intriguing also.
But the accident reports always seemed to read the same:
"The pilot had 5,000 hours in make and model"
"The wreckage was spread over a file mile radius"
Too unforgiving.
Having had my 337 for ages, I always offer the following challenge"
"You are IFR/NIGHT/OVER WATER/FOREST/CITY, and something goes "klunk'"
Complete the following sentence: "Damn, I wish I was in a ____________"
Same answer every time.
