In this week’s episode, we are talking about upgrading to a twin, and some thoughts about choosing between a twin Cessna and a Beech Baron.

Thank you Simon Cail, for your email, and for permission to read the email in this episode.

Simon’s decision was between a Cessna 340 and a Beechcraft Baron 58.

The pictures above are of a Cessna 414 and a Baron 55. But I think they’re close enough for the purposes of this episode.

Listen to the audio for some thoughts about the two types of airplanes, especially from a maintenance perspective.

Simon, I wish you well in your upgrade to a twin… let me know what you decide. And thanks again for your email!
