Actually, when looking at the raw footage, he does produce some movement to the camera which isn't really noticeable here on youtube. I couldn't really tell, but I THINK he gives a thumbs-up.
are those things easy to fly? say compared to a king air? I have heard they are not very stable on the takeoff and landing role? I have also heard that its more like landing a jet than a prop plane. are all these urban legends true? Or is it just like any other plane just ceuises faster?
It is relatively easy to fly, but it lands very fast. Vref with the flaps full is 120kts. Flaps Mid is 130kts, so it handles more like a jet in that respect. The wheelbase is quite narrow, and the hyrdaulic steering takes some getting used to. It doesn't have anti-skid either, so we've all learned to hardly ever touch the brakes at all until exiting the runway, it's easy to lock 'em up.
cool thanks. wow so no brakes and high touch down, that must mean long landings. Is this plane flown single pilot very often? well the closest i will everget to fly one of these is on msfs.
I love this airplane. The world fastest and sexiest turboprop.

While I may in fact be cocky, I *DID* wave.
And besides, who doesn't like a show off!? ;-)

.... Is it me or does the F.O. look a little funny?! This proves my theory that any monkey can fly a plane.
