I would never fly on a Mitsubishi MU-2B.

Its just a bad aircraft. No margin for error.

This might be the incident

I worked at Boeing for over Twenty years in experimental Flight test. I’ve flown a bit as an Instrumentation engineer.
I bought a big sail boat instead of an airplane. They both fly, just in a different way.

Every time I’ve flown with a private pilot or a regional
Alaska pilot. I noted the very difference in how Boeing pilots in experimental aircraft fly vs. private pilots.
A single pilot can become overworked very quickly.
Then they make mistakes, because they don’t have a second opinion.
In a sail boat if things go to hell, rig the proper sail
“Heave too” and just ride back and forth. You can wait it out.
You can’t do that in an airplane.

It is not that the Mitsubishi was less airworthy then say a B777, but the pilot workload is was different.

So they weren't flying in a plane registered in Lithuania?
