Beech Duke. Those are cool planes. The one we fly at the school is a Cessna 
Crusader. 250HP a side with counter rotating props. Pretty cool. Wish I 
could get the Scirocco going with 250 just on one engine. That would be 
pretty insane :). Cool thing with flying the plane is I got to understand a 
lot about turbos and related things like lag. If we do touch and goes, you 
toss the power up full throttle and you start to go pretty quick, then its 
like someone punched you in the back when the turbos catch up. Just an 
insane burst of acceleration. So much more expensive than the Scirocco to 
play with though.Thing is around $250 to operate from the school. Emptys 
ones pocket real quick.
