    That was easily one of the coolest videos I've seen on KZread period... Where do I start, first of all that 340 is beyond gorgeous with that fresh paint and those Tip tanks. Watching the Fowler flaps deploy from the rear cam is extremely cool.... Then you look at the panel with all the top of the line upgrades not to mention the interior of the plane and all you can think of is, "I want one"...!!! The windows from the outside look like a Gulfstream, very clean lines all around this aircraft. I was actually excited when Doug started to taxi onto the grass strip, just the anticipation of the takeoff is mind boggling not to mention the low fly by on his buddies field and then a flawless landing on his own private strip.... That entire video is like a dream come true for any pilot and from what I can see Doug is extremely knowledgeable and worked hard to make that dream come true. Well done sir and I wish you the best on every flight... :) P.S. Can you please make a few more videos with Doug for everyone to watch, maybe a day trip starting from bringing the plane out to returning later that night. Wasn't sure if he actually does night landings...? Thanks, now I'm going to watch it again....🤓

    Wow ! Beautiful 340 Doug ! I haven’t seen one of these in a long time. I worked at a FBO in Nashville, while building time in the 80’s and saw them them fairly often then, along with the 335. Always loved the lines of that aircraft, with the positive things from the 310, like the stance and ramp presence, enhanced and made larger and wing configuration more like a 414/421, but with tip tanks. That’s impressive numbers you cite. Not much to dislike, including the 29-30 gal fuel burn and really impressive short field numbers. Amazing job with the upgrades Doug, thanks for sharing ! Safe skies ! 🇺🇸🛫

I would think making unselfish contributions to those in need is very satisfying, except for the reality of first connecting with unfortunately ill people and then losing that connection to the most hated disease in my book, cancer. I loss two younger brothers to colon cancer, one at 17 years old and another at 41 years old. So again, thank you, Doug. On a brighter note, love the airplane and the upgrades you made.

I have also flown RAM conversion 340A. I can only imagine the increase with Robertson STOL. With the package, the flying characteristics are different. Once learned, the R-STOL increases safety margins, and is a blast to fly. Passengers are always amazed at the takeoff and climb performance. Thank you doodle man for focusing on the R-STOL system.

Well let's just say it worked out. Haven't help you if you ever lost an engine or even a turbocharger in ice. Thanks for the Post made my day I'm so glad that life worked it out for you that you could afford to do this as a retirement. I can't help but be a little bit jealous.
