After my previous question on the e-ma il list about the 680FP (thank you everyone who responded)=2C I don't think the 680 will be the plane for us. However=2C I have been looking at the 6 85 pretty closely and was wondering if anyone had any direct operating expe rience between the 421s and the 685s. I know the 685 will have the SB rega rding the aft pressure vessel bulkhead in the near future=2C but was wonder ing about operational cost and performance figures for the two. Keep in mi nd that we will be operating out of a 3700ft strip (at 550MSL)=2C so short field operations are a key component as well (although we won't ever be hea vy). Thanks in advance!
