Yeah, mostly KA 350's i'd imagine.
Speaking of turbo props, a sleek one is the Piper Cheyenne 400 LS(LS coined by Chuck Yeager) 350 knot cruise(with the M/T five blades), ceiling of 41,000 ft.(which it's two minutes faster than a 737 to get to). Production was 1975 to 1995. 1st Birds were a little less than a half mil. ..now out of production, they have more than tripled in value. Only 44 units total were built. Chuck Yeager set a time to climb & speed record with one on a New York to Paris run. LS was added to nomenclature after success of this run because Chuck called it
Lickety Split. It flies more people, farther, faster, cheaper & in more spacious comfort than a Citation ll pure jet.
I can't get the picture download to take on my device.

I guess i'm exaggerating the LS, but Chuck decided that LS SHOULD stand for lickety split. The NY to Paris run actually set several time to climb records.....time to 3000 meters was 1 minute, 48 sec. To 6000 meters, 3 min. 43 sec. To 9000 meters, 6 min. 34 sec. To 12,000 meters, 11 min. 8 sec. The date was 4/16/85. Damb quick for a turbo prop.
I rode a raped angel ride in a Lear 24 where we made a climb from just above sea level to 41,000 ft in just over 10 minutes. Straight pipe jets, not fan motors.
 
Here's that Lear 24. Bird was repainted shortly after these pix.
