Greg Mink, enthusiastic owner of two MU-2s, loves the aircraft’s speed, efficiency and utility.
Seven years. That’s how long Greg Mink has been talking to me about the MU-2. It started with a friendly email, a picture of his airplanes and an invitation to come visit. I’d politely decline, but Greg isn’t one to take no for an answer.
Over the course of those seven years, I wrote about a variety of turboprops and light jets. Unfailingly he would write saying, “Yes that’s a nice plane, but you really should check out what the MU-2 can do.”
Seven years later, thanks to Greg’s persis- wtence, I finally get it. The MU-2 is one heckuva turboprop for the money.
To say Greg is an enthusiastic owner, would be equivalent to saying Michelangelo was a decent artist. Not only is he fervent about the MU-2’s capabilities and qualities, he feels that part of his responsibility as a committed owner is to restore the aircraft’s reputation and set the record straight.
“I love the MU-2. There’s no airplane that can touch its performance and efficiency,” he said.
