Recollections: The smallest of the King Airs. As noted in my entry for T-44 and U-21, the distinction here between this model and other similar ones is sometimes unclear.
–Most of my pure-civilian experience on the “90” was on a Performance Credit program conducted in 2013. It was an interesting program, to say the least. Winglets were added to the 90, the wing was strengthened to allow for the movement of lift outward and a full program to define performance changes was conducted.
