“The ignition system overheats in the hot conditions and they’re often stuck on the tarmac for half an hour, waiting for the battery to cool down.”. - Is that really an issue with the 340s?
It’s like “ Deja vu”, back in about 2002 maybe, I was flying “Big Hat Bob” around NW QLD and Gulf country and he was spouting the virtues of Saab 340’s in the outback versus the J32. He has a long standing relationship with one of the SkyTrans directors.
