What? 7hrs endurance in the 200MPA not enough for Customs then?
How much fuel uplifted by a -300MPA? Rest bunks in the back? Hot galleys??
Most importantly - more money? (I can guess the answer to that one).
My 7 years of coastwatch were happy times - best of luck to anyone applying for jobs - the flying is hard to beat. The Dash 8 is first class - probably the nicest handling aircraft I have flown.
