Know exactly what you mean having flown 135 freight in piston twins too. Mike, your background IMHO, is ideal for what I'd like to see. Civilian freight and military flight training is a hard combo to top.

Are you an ex-military pilot?

Yeah it's complicated. From memory, KA 100 fuse, 90 systems, Queen Air wings, and a great big roman nose. Oh, and little tiny main gear you can't find anywhere and hair trigger brakes! Yeah!

Similar to that, I still remember the Beech 1300, prior to the 1900 craze. A variant of the B200 that I remember Mesa flying, along with their Caravan's.

It is so easy to pop a tire in that thing. I got out of it lucky though. You can stand on the brakes in some metros and nothing will happen.

The only thing that kept flying the 99 interesting to me was flying it into unknown places while TDY. We also had some tiny strips that we flew it into. There were also a few VFR only routes that we flew it on which have gotten a couple of pilots into very hot water in the past!
