Each MU-2 is refurbished to a Platinum Series mininum standard. But beyond that, the sky is the limit. Wayne Haub, owner of Marquise, N888WW, has taken the customization of Platinum Series S/N I to a whole new level. From the specially designed paint scheme and interior seating and configuration to the smallest details to include specialized window and lighting treatments, under seat storage, state of the art communications and in-flight entertainment, Wayne’s passengers are able to experience the ultimate in luxury, comfort, and convenience.
The seating configuration and semi-crescent shaped partitions provide an airy and open feel, with fantastic forward visibility for passsengers. As the only MU-2 with both a forward and mid-cabin divan, the latter serves as an ottoman when the aircraft is not carrying its full complement of 11 passengers. The lavatory itself is a custom creation incorporating both aft cabin storage and a 4-bottle insulated wine storage compartment. Unlike many, this is a very comfortable seat with it’s own picture window. The lavatory door, another custom design, features double folds, captive bearing wheels, and has mechanical design elements that allow for complete privacy.
The leather throughout the cabin is a pearlized metallic with accented “stingray” textured leather. The forward and aft partitions are finished with the accent leather along with antique bronze plated trim. The windows feature fabricated kydex bezels between each of the three panes to provide a sharp visual edge, looking from the inside or outside of the aircraft.
The aircraft is equipped with two satellite phone handsets, one corded and the other cordless to support the plane’s two separate phone lines. The cell phone and Wi-Fi equipment are from Aircell. The Wi-Fi plan boasts broadcast speeds capable of supporting streaming video active over 10,000 feet over the entire continental U.S.
All of the design elements and ammenties in this aircraft were carefully thought out to give Wayne and his passengers the look and feel of a luxury jet. There are countless other features that make N888WW truly a one-of-a-kind, custom MU-2. Wayne’s Marquise was completed in a series of phases, which allowed him to enjoy his aircraft along the way to becoming a full Platinum Series.
