Australia had a fair sized fleet of the type. Ex Navy course mate had stepped up to the type from Lears/Westwinds only to lose his job when the airline (Compass Mark 1) folded, a bit ticked off because he had just gotten his captaincy with eight hours in command when the folding occurred, at least he had one bragging right, he captained the airlines very last flight.
