Somebody once told me that the SAAB maintains a much higher TAS in the climb (as opposed to the Dash). 180 - 190 IAS were the figures tossed up, and we usually see the SAAB catching up if we depart in front of them. Then they level off down at 120 or 140 while we keep climbing and we all get to Sydney around the same time (unless we're in the 200, which goes like a rocket). No idea whether the SAABs are As or Bs.

Any comments from Sexy Rexy? What's the fleet mix at the moment?
