Buying and Exporting a Skymaster

[johnnyfalcon]

Hi Herb,

Thanks for your input. Do you consider ferrying to NZ first then doing the SIDs a better option?

I'm considering all years of P models. I don't know that there are any significant differences. I considered all turbo models of 337 initially but decided upon pressurized. It needs to be IFR-ready. Intercooled is desirable? I'd prefer engines with good times remaining rather than the inconvenience of overhauling. I have wondered about the significance of climate control in the cabin. How do the pilots of the non-airconditioned airframes manage on hot days?

All observations welcome.
