I bet they're fun little planes to fly, always love seeing an Aerostar visiting CZNL. Sounds like that must have been a special flight!

You won’t want the fuel bill tho…90 gall per hour…..that’s 45per engine, per hour…… Wallet of a footballer to afford that….+servicing will cost you the other arm…..even more than B60 Duke…..

@@davemould8261 no where near that in cruise, about 45 total in cruise, you're having a laugh

I really like the livery on this one, looks great for its age.

I bet they're a nice flying aircraft, I've always loved the design and they're one of my favourite visitors to see passing through CZNL.

I agree, love the sound of this little aircraft!

It sounds like a WWII fighter plane. I like it. :)

Hello Matt my good friend, yes these planes are smokin' fast for a twin piston, i like them. God bless you & your wife, you all stay safe pal.

@ Matt's Aviation Channel, Matt my good friend, i think they are rare everywhere, even here, because although the speed is great for a twin piston driven engine, many folks will purchase a turbo prop even though for the extra cost, especially a Pilatus single turbo prop with its outstanding safety record & fortunate for you, made in your home country. Plus you get extra benefits with the turbo props, ie: higher ceiling above msl/agl, fuel consumption on props is less at higher altitudes than pistons, plus you don't have to lean your fuel on props like on pistons, etc....God bless you & your wife from me & T.

@@stevelogan5475 Hi Steve, that is a good explanation. I would prefer a PC-12 to piston because of the outstanding versatility. The PC-12 can land on unpaved, small airfields even high up on the mountains. That brings the passenger much closer to their destination. Yes, the performance and reliability are top. The Pilatus has a very good reputation. All the best to you!

Thanks so much Matt! I really like these speedy twin piston planes, I get lucky and see a few different Aerostar's visiting Nelson every once in awhile.

@@matthiashaenni Matt my good friend, i think that is why they are rare, God bless you & you know who, from T & I .

I really love the design and name of the Aerostar as well, one fun aircraft to get to spot. Yes, we really do have some great scenery surrounding the airport here in Nelson. Makes for some fun spotting! Thanks very much for watching.

Nice, CZNL would be a really fun airport to fly around in the sim! Thanks for watching, really glad you're enjoying the videos.

Thanks a lot!

It is a different design for sure! Thanks for watching.

Look up “Aerostar Jet” on KZfaq.

I agree, they do produce a pretty good sound. Love these fast piston twins!

Demon Got Me I wonder why they stopped making them

Very nice, that must be a ton of fun flying and travelling in the 602!

I agree, one of my favourites!

That's very cool you've got to spot this one before! They're pretty cool little planes, I was happy to see this one.

I bet these things are a ton of fun to fly, one hot little aircraft.

Thanks, this one was fun to see!

Thanks so much!

Haha so true, love the design of the Aerostar.

I don't think I'm sold on the looks, but the sound sure is amazing. I just don't think she's got great ramp presence.

I want so bad.

This one was fun to see. I've caught a few Aerostar's visiting Nelson, really love their design.

There’s a really good 600 for XP11 if you ever are interested

@@Saucierauto16 I don't have XP11 at this time, just the Mobile Version. Hoping to install XP12 when it's released. Currently with MSFS 2020. A2A is supposed to put an Aerostar 600 out which is still in development for MSFS 2020. I've been waiting since 2020 for it. Not sure if Scott and the team are having issues with it but the SIM Community is waiting in earnest. I have Carenado's 690B Turbo Commander for P3Dv4.5/FSX but I've uninstalled both SIMS for MSFS 2020 with its better Graphics. I have been thinking about re-installing P3D just to use all the payware aircraft I've purchased and freeware that's pretty good payware quality.

Thanks, I really like them as well!

Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot!

These speedy little twins are always really cool to see, bet they’re a ton of fun to fly!

They do look smoking fast indeed, love the quick twins! Bet they would be a lot of fun to fly as well. Thanks for watching Steve, hope you're doing well.

@@TheHDAviation wife & I are doing well Jesse, i pray you & yours are doing well, i think i mentioned the reason these are fairly rare is because they are as fast as some turbo props which tends to make folks purchase the turbo props instead, even though they are more costly , even the single pilatus prop, have a great evening pal.

Thanks so much, this one was fun to film!

Thanks a lot!

I bet they are a ton of fun to fly!

Thanks a lot!

Love the sound this one produces!

I agree!

I know, the jet-powered Aerostar looks crazy. Wish they would have created more!

Thanks, this one was cool to see.

Thanks so much Volker, I appreciate it my friend!

I don't get to see these very often either. Strange design for sure! Thanks for watching.

When Ted Smith designed the Aerostar, he went a long way to create as close to a NO COMPROMISE airplane as he could at the time.

I love them as well, they must be pretty fun and fast to fly!

I agree, the Aerostar really is a beauty!

Still rated the fastest twin in the world ;)

Bet they are a lot of fun to fly, love the design of the Aerostar.

Love the lines of the Aerostar, one great looking plane.

Very impressive speed!

@@TheHDAviation Yep.

I agree, the vehicle traffic noise is very annoying. Unfortunately, this is the best view I can get of the runway, which is right next to the road.

Thanks a lot, this one was a fun catch!

Very nice, it's a great looking little aircraft. Bet it's a fun one to fly!

The aircraft was taxiing out from the ramp, there is no separate taxiway. It had been here for a few days.

What? Got any proof to back that up or did you just pull it out of your ass?

I need to watch that movie!

The plane was designed to go fast. That cruise speed came at a price. The wing had almost zero angle of incidence. The flaps were adequate, but not big enough to allow for STOL type distances. A lot of pilots didn't really know how to properly take advantage of that and spent more time on the runway than necessary. Plus, you have no idea how heavy he was.

For a long while, it was the fastest piston twin. There were several variants and several after-market mods/kits that made it even faster.

This is the "Fastest "LIGHT" Twin

From the video description: general aviation. Though it is faster than a B-25.
