King Air 350i: Fill The Seats, Fill The Tanks And Feel The Difference
Beechcraft King Air 350i, the second-generation Model B300, is significantly quieter, more comfortable and more capable than the original aircraft. It’s been in production since 2009 and more than 440 units have been delivered, including 35 to launch Wheels Up, the model’s launch customer.
