The upgrade of doing this engine re-fit must have cost a small fortune......the basic airframe alone, is not exactly cheap........in any event, I read tales of this bird taking a run to Brazil and back, so I guess it was an effective change...........

Here she is, the Cessna P210 turbo-prop.........just look at the nose length on this thing........ :o

If you've ever flown a P210, you would realize that this is the only way that plane is worth a damn.  The piston ones are dogs, but a turbine makes it a whole new aircraft.
