Beechcraft B60 Duke tour

Little tour of the B60 Duke.

I have always loved, “The Duke” it’s a very sexy looking airplane. Comfortable seats inside, appears to be going 100 knots sitting on the ramp. I am very envious of your airplane, sir.

Fantastic video, I am heading out on Friday to view one, I’ve never been an owner so this is the beginning of an adventure for us!!!

I Also have always loved the Duke, got to ride in a model 60 a few times and it was always awesome.

Such a fantastic plane! Too bad you don’t see them around in the Netherlands. It has always been a dream of mine to fly one of these beauty’s

I never understood why Beechcraft didn’t design a door with an air stair. That looks like it would be difficult for an elderly person to get into. Not sure there is anything that sounds as good as a Duke taking off!

Loved your comment sir;
sexy plane it looks fast sitting on the ground !
Kindly my old man bought one back in 1988 pressurized too in Caracas/ Venezuela, and before had a Baron 52, flew all his life since he was16 years got his Pilot license in Texas.
Do recall he used to say that the DUKE was a really fast airplane.
It would nice too to see a video of your stunning Duke flying sir thank you for sharing indeed.

Beech = high class!
Beautiful twin
From the single engine Bonanza V35 up!
Royal Duke ( if you can afford it ) with turbine P&W PT6's gives you 3, 000 + fpm on climb out

Hey! Great video. I'm about to close on one.

Beautiful and great to fly IF you are not paying for the maintenance. You are better off buying a King Air and it will be cheaper in the long run.

Thanks for the tour and the time with making this video.. I didn't know about ads-b Until I saw this so you taught me something .. I am not a pilot, just interested in aviation

[Rudmyster]

Love the look of the Duke but was told cost a lot to maintain

[colinoerton]

Thanks -great video. Any idea how much these are going for today ?

[donny]

did u know beech had to slow the duke down so it was slower then kingair

[flywayne]

i understand what you were trying to say about the turbocharger at +fl23. it isnt normally aspirated that altitude, normally aspirated would be no turbo or super charger at all, but the turbocharger like you said is holding sea level power up to that point and is making the most available boost . i have always loved the duke. thats cool that you get to own and fly one. question, with the waist gates, do you still need to watch MP on take off for overboost, or do the waistgates keep that under control ? thanks

What is "48?" I forgot, is Duke considered a "cabin class twin?"

[michaellake]

Beautiful airplane as are all Dukes. Go Beechcraft or go home.

[allesubermodellflugzeuge]

Does the Duke have an AC or an heating?

[RootBeerGMT]

Nose baggage is no bigger than a Baron or 340. If you want a turbo twin and need space—421 is probably a better choice.

[BLAMBERRY]

great video and walk around! Question though- the prop radius appears quite small compared to the engine blocks. It appears as if half the thrust created by the props is used to cool the engine or blocked by the engine intlet while the other half(outer) actually provides thrust. Does this make the duke feel underpowered?

[MachTuck]

Beautiful aircraft! hanks for sharing! ...how much an "average" annual inspection can go for? thanks
