Re: Succesor to the Navajo, Chieftain, Metro
Nice thoughts -
Most operators seem reluctant to spend the necessary dollars to look after their current fleet of aging aircraft - what makes you think that they will find the dollars to buy new equipment.
Several years ago the idea was floated of rebuilt Navajos - zero time, new everything inc glass cockpit - $600,000 plus your old machine. Only two takers.
Of course the idea never went any further
The diesel engine has not had a very good intro to Australia - they have a few things to sort out yet.
