A Twin Comanche was flown in the 1992 and 1994 French Arc en Ciel air races. It is the only US aircraft to have raced twice around the world.
In the pilot-skilled races, 1992 pilot and Pioneer Hall of Fame enshrinee and 100 Aviation Hero for the First Century of Flight, Marion P. Jayne and her daughter Nancy Palozola placed second. In 1994 Jayne and her daughter, Patricia Jayne (Pat) Keefer won the FAI Gold Medal in what, so far, is the longest race in history at over 21,000 miles flown May 1-24, 1994.
With FAA approval the twin carried a total of 252 gallons in 11 tanks and at maximum power went over 2,100 miles non-stop between Marrakech, Morocco and Istanbul, Turkey in 11:19 hours.

Variants
Three versions of the PA30 were produced: the original, a B model, and a C model.
The B and C models can carry six passengers and can be identified by the additional side windows.
Factory turbocharged engines became available in 1965.
These used Rajay turbochargers with manual wastegates operated by twin knobs under the throttle quadrant.
They were properly termed "turbonormalized" since the compression ratio and maximum manifold pressure remained unchanged.

Pilots were required to use care to avoid overboosting at low altitudes, since no overboost popoff valves were used.
Since there was no accompanying power increase, the B/C models simply give owners a fuel vs. passenger tradeoff.
The two rearmost seats, occupying the baggage compartment, are quite small.

PA-30-200 Twin Comanche B
Experimental PA-30 with two 200hp Lycoming engines, one only from Piper.
However, a number of Twin Comanches were modified with 200hp Lycoming engines under an STC from Miller which was often accompanied by modifications to the dorsal fin, nacelles, and nose.
Dual brakes on each main wheel and a nosegear headlight were also available from Miller.
An optional turbocharged variant of the Miller Twin Comanche was available as well.
