Yes, it's certainly very interesting to see an empty ATR doing touch and goes (more go than touch) - I'm sure a sim would be a much cheaper/safer option, also I gather it would allow reduced take-off minima on those foggy HLZ mornings?
Pitty about the Saab 2000 - nice machine, why didn't they consider the EMB Brasilia? (of course not much of this sentence makes sense in light of recent edits)
