If you’re looking for a turboprop that combines versatility and rugged performance with passenger comfort, the twin-engine Beechcraft King Air 250 may be near the top of your list of aircraft to buy.

In production between 2011 up until the end of 2020, when Beechcraft replaced it with the King Air 260, the King Air 250 derives from a family of aircraft that has been in production since the early 1970s. Helping it deliver its prized performance characteristics is a pair of Pratt & Whitney PT6A-52 engines.
