Guys, you hang on to those B200's for as long as you can, flying around at night in any commercial operation, particularly in the territory is an accident waiting to happen.
In my life time, a bit less than 20,000 hours I have experienced 2 catastrophic failures and 4 engine shutdowns, one of those catastrophic failures was at night as was 2 of the shutdowns, both oil pressure failures all of them turbine all but one in a PT6 deriviative free power turbine.

Needless to say had those been in a single engine aircraft, its very likely I wouldnt be here today.

I always looked at airmed as a great little retirement gig, however if it's to be in singles well "f**k that" you guys must be nuts.
