Thanks guys. I lived in El Paso and used to wheel my 2012 FJ there and NM before I moved to Seattle.
That is true... however, I don't think I've ever felt so alive than when I was there.

Should of read on a KING Air aka C-12
I've been on some military aircraft, but not that one.
They are only used for ELINT and some VIP transport as the C12.
I worked on a lot of them as a civvy A&P mechanic. Also ran into some of them during the initial invasion of Iraq at Balad SE; Saddam had a few, along with about a dozen PT6A power eggs, complete with paperwork, still in crates. While I was conniving to find a way to ship back the PT6As, some enterprising young engineer bulldozed them.
