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.
