Any word on engine teardown intervals? Obviously a turboprop.... do they just stick a 5 inch scope in an inspection port every 100 hours?

If the maintenance side is as impressive as the capabilities, I'm for it.

Unfortunately, our war fighters are forced to wait while Beech plays a game of catch up. There was a unit ready to deploy last year in the Super T until the Kansas congressional contingent put a stop to it.

Both aircraft run PT-6’s I believe and the version I work on has a 400hr borescope interval, with the bore scope being 5mm in diamater - the video scopes work great. As for tear down our hot section inspection is every 2500hrs and every 4000 hrs the engine is pulled for overhaul.
