It's one of my favorite fuel stops because there's a nice little seafood restaurant right outside the airport. Years ago another twin went down north of TUL when I was in town. It was around the holidays and it was a family flying in to visit relatives. All on board were lost. Very sad.

Someone else noted he's only had the plane a very short time. A friend of mine flew one of these as a commercial pilot. He said both that one and the Aerostar are a devil if you have an engine out at low altitude and you have to be very quick on the controls if it happens.
