Summary
Did JetPROP change the future of Piper? In this episode of The Malibu Guru Podcast, Joe and Kenneth Hale dig into the history of the PA-46 and the rise of the JetPROP conversion. They talk about Piper’s challenges in the 1990s, why the PT6 was such a strong fit for the PA-46 airframe, and how JetPROP may have pushed Piper to bring the Meridian to market. It’s a fun look at PA-46 history, competition, innovation, and the airplanes that came from it — from the Malibu and Mirage to the JetPROP, Meridian, M500, M600, and M700. 🌐 Visit Us Online - Aircraft Sales & Brokerage: https://flycasey.com - PA46 Aircraft Maintenance: https://www.caseyaviationservices.com
