I'm not a fan of glass panels either. So the suggestion of a Baron 56TC sounds great to me, especially given it's performance. It would also be nice to have something a little different to the present Piper/Cessna offerings and we haven't yet had a turbocharged engine.

But I'd be happy with a Duchess/Seminole as a starter to twin engine flying too. Hope it happens this year.


Cheers,
Mike

The Duchess always felt like it should be aerobatic to me. Great under the hand, plenty of power. Solid single engine performance and no "critical engine", unlike the Baron.

Many years ago, the C310 was a very popular aircraft to get a twin engine rating in. Now days I really like the Piper Seminole.

Keep the shiny side up and the dirty side down!

Piper Seminole, Beechcraft Duchess or Cessna 310 would all be good choices. Going back a little farther in time the Beech 18 or Avro Anson could be good choices.

Personally, Id rather see a low wing, conventional tail, tricycle gear airplane, like a Cessna 310 or Beech Baron B55. A Seneca or dare I say (Twin Comanche) would also be pretty cool. I know Seminoles are trainers and that's what everyone is in the mood for, but along with Tomahawks and King Airs, the T-tail is not the prettiest sight, nor does it fly as well as a conventional or V-tail. I personally (Out of pure opinion) say nuts to a Seminole. I'd rather see something better. #SayNoToTtails
Comanche, 172, 182, PA-28, Civ/Mil Mustang, T-6, COTS L049, P-40, Spitfire, V35, and Mighty B-17.

That settles it, we're getting the Seminole or Tomahawk.

Look like a jet twin and a prop twin rolled into one!! :lol:

How about a Twin Comanche instead?? I love the A2A Comanche and have read good things about the Twin Comanche, so that's a suggestion from me.

I also love the Comanche and would be ALL FOR THAT!!!!!!! A C337 Skymaster would be cool too. Not as pretty as the aircraft in the previous opinions though.
