| | Beechcraft Musketeer, Aerobatic, Pilot Report |
 | | It's been two years now since Beech took one of their Musketeer trainers, nailed in a set of shoulder harnesses, a quick release door, splashed on a sun-burst, and called it aerobatic, but 1970 may be the year that it really makes the grade. |
 | | In the past the Akro Musketeer has been the bottom of a mighty tall totem pole, but the fantastic growth in sports aviation has been noticed by even the stuffiest of executives, and they've decided to give the runt of the Beechcraft litter a higher priority and help push it on it's way. |
 | | Almost all the aerobatics the Musketeer is approved for can be done without a seat belt, if they're done right, because they are all positive G maneuvers, but I doubt if there is an aerobatic neophyte living that hasn't pushed too hard in a roll and slammed himself up against the seat belt. |
