The Beechcraft King Air 360ER is a twin‑turboprop business aircraft suited to short and medium trips from smaller airports, typically carrying about 6–9 passengers in executive seating and offering roughly 1,500–1,800 nm of range depending on payload and reserves.

The Embraer Legacy 650E is a large‑cabin business jet for long nonstop legs, generally seating about 10–14 passengers with a range of roughly 3,900–4,000 nm. The Robinson R66 is a light single‑turbine helicopter intended for short-range regional hops and vertical access, typically carrying 4 passengers plus a pilot, with range roughly 300–350 nm.
