Learjet 50,
The DO328 won't be landing on the beach at Barra, positive it ain't certified either.
LC don't have a problem with the Otters at the moment, the PSO runs out in 2013.
They might be old, but they have still have plenty flights left in them.
As for a replacement, Viking are the TC holder for the Otter, and are producing the new -400 series at a slow pace.
New aircraft might be required going forward, this will be in the hands of the Scottish government and the next operator of the PSO.
I wish all at Suckling and Logie all the best for the future, good to see a good news story for a change.
