Inside source tells me that Mr Beechcraft/Ratheon rep was out Pel Air way a LOOOONG time ago and not only daddy but all in the op. were quite against the idea, the Metro's looked set to stay at they time. The acquisition of the PacAv 1900 came as a loss to Crane Air who INITIALLY ran the McGowan powered operation. Still apparently no closer to getting more 1900's...
