Daddy Needs a New Pair of ‘Wings’

$1M 330 Knot Homebuilt Turboprop

I want one!

Saw this at work today. Brand new Lancair Evolution. It’s a (employ Dr. Evil tone here) one million dollar homebuilt kit plane. Seating four in its pressurized cabin, it has a max cruise of 330 knots at 28,000 feet with the pictured  Pratt & Whitney PT-6 Turboprop.

Y’all need to tell all your friends to go out and buy my book … otherwise I’ll never afford this thing. (Cue rimshot and laugh track.)

Dean M. Cole, a reclusive caffeine junkie and author from Texas, formerly a combat helicopter pilot and now an airline pilot, writes science fiction novels. As an aviation enthusiast, he lives out his dreams of space adventures in his books, since "physics" and "budgets" stand in the way in real life. His stories are full of techno-jargon and action. Between flights, he translates these into German, drawn to the challenge of weaving long words into convoluted sentences. Despite his success, he fears his characters may one day become self-aware and choose safer career paths.
