What is Your Impression?

What is your impression of the Beechcraft King Air 250 (BKA 250) flying out of Chester, United Kingdom? Well, for one, the first thing I think of from this photo the BKA 250 is speed. This plane looks fast, let alone that it is a multi engine turbo-prop plane. The BKA 250 looks to be a commercial aircraft with retractable landing gear creating less intended drag. This aircraft also has wingtip devices. These wingtips are designed to reduce the drag by channeling the wingtip vortex, creating less drag and more speed, which also in turn makes for a larger payload to be carried on the aircraft. What elso do you notice about this larger aircraft? Did you notice the whale tail on the the emmpennage? If you didn’t already know, the emmpennage is the rear controlling region of the aircraft. This is by far, the most essential and most important area of your aircraft, since this area performs about two thirds of your control of the aircraft. Anyways, the whale fin of the BKA 250 is also another piece to direct air travel and create less drag. Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC) had announced that they would be selling these new Beechcraft King Air 250s back in April. HBC is one of the leading companies of the world in business, special mission, light attack, and trainer aircraft. Though I do have a few questions about this aircraft. Is this specific aircraft only flown in Europe at this moment or is it sold and flown all around the world? I mean I am enjoying what I hear about this new BKA 250 due to the new improvements on aerodynamics, visual, and takeoff performance while increasing speed, range, and climb. The Hawker Beechcraft Corporation seems to be a very large and well known company. If you are looking at different aircraft to either purchase of fly, I would suggest that you look into the HBC.

They Said the Sky Was My Limit, Now It’s My Point of View

So they say the sky is my limit, but now it’s my point of view. This photo reminds me every time that I fly. Just look at this view. You feel like you can do anything, you are absolutely free! When they say bird’s eye view this is exactly what they mean. When somebody can look at this and receive the most amazing feeling of beauty, passion, and sensational freedom from the everyday, “Oh you have to move in this direction!” it is just absolutely amazing. Direction and isolation cease to exist up in the sky. There is not one person that I know that has never thought about living up in the sky some day. That is pretty much everybody’s dream. The moment you lay your eyes on a bird soaring through the sky, most people, like myself, begin to think about how they would love to have that same freedom that that bird has. To just wake up every morning to twist, turn, dive, and move in any such direction that we please without the environment around us is telling us we can’t do that.
Thought some of you may be asking, “Why would the photographer choose to take this photo?” I think the photographer wanted to have their viewers see their point of view too. There are some people that will never have the luxery to fly whether for recreation, business, or just to get from place to place. This photo shows those certain people what it really looks like when you are looking from the opposite direction of everybody else around you. Most pilots, such as myself, like to think that we have the greatest job in the world. Our office has the best view anybody can possibly imagine. “Living” in the sky is and always will be my most adored dream and soon reality.
