Most turboprops have reversable props, used for braking on short runways. There's been at least one accident in recent years involving a turboprop and reverse pitch in flight...IIRC a pilot attempting to do a short, steep descent tried to pull the prop pitch back and pulled it a little too far back, into reverse, while flying at high speed. After the molten engine parts quit flying out the exhaust, I think the pilot wound up ditching it in a field.

Nice-looking little airplane, though a pretty fancy ride for just one man and his wife.

It's amazing what one can afford in the cancer research game.....

During the hell-slide of AD's on the MU-2 prop problems, they could be had for about $150,000 back in 1990. I remember buying an Aerocommander for $72,000 when the fuselage straps to the wings were corroding and becoming unsafe. A very, very nice twin for less than a Cesna 172 or a Piper Arrow.
