The 200 is a great aircraft for Africa. In terms of wing failures, from what I understand is that there have been either three or four in the history of the King Air and one of these was on a 90. Each time the wing has failed just outboard of the aileron/flap line. That is not a bad failure rate if you consider what the King Air has been put through and if you consider the numbers. About 1750 200's, (civil), 250 300's, over 1600 C90's etc. If you consider the hours flown by this fleet, you will gain further respect for this aircraft. Expensive to run, yes, but aviation is generally expensive these days.All in all, give me a 200 in Africa any day!
