No GTHO's up that high 'spot':-)And yr right non RVSM for all the KingAir's.
The std B200 is certified too FL350 but they struggle esspecially in temps like ISA+20 for Eg. The cabin would be above 10K as well.
The B200GT would give it an edge in that area over the std B200 & obviously a better TAS.
Not too sure on the 1900 'S8', the early ones with the same cabin x section as the B200 might do well but the contract will require brand new airframes. The B200 std or GT would suit better for our ops.
Whatever they decide to choose should the RFDS get back the contract will be good 'cause the old MW's are getting tired, much like Capt Wally
Anyway if the boffins get excited & order space shuttles you lot will be the first to know
