I was talking to another former ramp rat the other night about tough aircraft to refuel. We had the turbo commander, MD-500, twin otter no single point, beechjet top off quick turn, and then the DA50 fuel panel.
What’s y’all’s?

Mitsubishi MU-2. Tips get pressurized so can be difficult to open and then possibly shoot out on you. Has something like 6 main tanks as well and you have to fill them in the correct order or they spill on you. Can't fill one side and then the next, need to go back and forth between them or it will tip over.
Then when it finally leaves those engines are the loudest thing on the planet and no hearing protection will save you.
I fly the same engine of the MU-2 now so I know the pain. And sounds like the Lear on fueling the tip tanks in balance.
Yeah MU-2s are a special breed.
Angry puppies suck if you're tall
Caravan on amphibs on land, no single point, -40.
Those suck.
Oof, those are bad enough tricycle.
