Hi Wal.
yes you have hit the nail on the head again, the Jet if westops get it,is because of the large scale that they cover.They need to do DBY, PH in one hit.
The current PC12/47 can do the range but the speed 220 to 235kts makes them a bit slow for the long haul.
When I was in EN with a corporate company they operated HS 125/700, did a few flights in it,it would not take long for our guys to get into the groove in the right hand seat, this would most likely be made easier on the long hauls they are planning to do.
Interesting times ahead, if what Kingair 200 says.
