Mitsubishi sure can build a great airplane. I flew an MU-2 on and off for two years back in the 90's.

Great picture. Look at the four bee hives in the back yard of the house in the background.

I first saw an MU-2 when I was in Army flight school. Pilot said it was the only general aviation A/C that was certified for flight into known icing conditions. The high wing & low gear pod reminded me of a C-130.

No truth to the rumor that Mitsubishi marketed the MU-2 with an ad that went “from those wonderful folks who brought you Pearl Harbor!”
