                              The 
                              Beechcraft Duke B60 is a pressurized turbocharged 
                              twin business airplane with retractable landing 
                              gear that first flew in 1966. 584 aircraft were 
                              built, production finishing in 1982. The B60 is 
                              regarded as the best developed of this series, but 
                              due to the complexities of the design, relatively 
                              few aircraft were purchased. 
                               
                              It accommodates 4 to 6 passengers with typically 1 
                              passenger sitting in the cockpit beside the pilot 
                              and 4 passengers in the back of the cabin in a 
                              club-seating arrangement.
