For me it’s the Beech Baron, the G-58 but it’s far too expensive, usually $400,000 and up. A better choice is the Beech Travel Air, the B-95 which can be bought for $50 – $90,000. Both are twin engine aircraft.
The Baron cruises well over 220 mph while the Travel Air get’s along at 180 mph or so. I had one and it would cruise around 192 mph. It’s about 1,100 miles from Manhattan to Miami. A Baron would take 5 hours while a Travel Air would take about an hour longer.
From Burlington New Jersey to Martha’s Vineyard is about 230 miles. The Travel Air would take maybe 10 more minutes to make the flight.
I miss the air.
