Turboprops are boring! This one has a proper engine and it sounds realy good! :)

[efesair]

there is a factory in Siberia which makes the same (either new or rebuilt) with a turboprop.

these birds are awesome, apparently the stall speeds on these are so low that with a 40km/h headwind you can fly backwards at 5km/h

Well good luck! By the way - what kind of licence/certificate, do they demand there? I'm an ATP, flying for Aer Lingus, but I have a LONG time, until the retirement...
