Cool, Cessna has a few twin prop models -- I'll eat crow on that. They really didn't ring a bell, but most of my time is in large turbo-props operating from Navy/Air Force/Marine airfields. I've never seen one on the ramp. When I looked at Cessna's website and saw that they had no twins props in the line-up I drew the wrong conclusion. The wiki page shows that at one time (commencing over 50 years ago) the Air Force flew them, predating the Beech King Air's we have now.
With that side-bar behind us, now we can circle back to Izzy's friend who flies a Cessna (or Beech/Piper) twin between the Bahama's and Florida with virtually no survival gear. With your experience, do you have any thoughts regarding flying over-water in small GA aircraft without survival equipment on person? I'm sure it's done every day, but what are your thoughts?
