I flew the Metro II, METRO III and METRO IIII. ( I put this down instead of IV for 4 as IV kind of thing makes me think of hospital)
Both as captain and as copilot. I learned the best way to handle the throttles as a copilot was to do it underhanded so my left thumb could engage the nws.
There are pluses and minuses to this plane. The older ones had a JATO bottle to assist in maintaing a safe airspeed if the engine quit.
We had one guy have the blades come off the prop, come through the fuselage, missing a passenger. He could only maintain control above 200 knots but lucked out as he was at cruise altitude lined up with the long runway at FRESNO (KFAT). My hat is off to him.
I hated the CLICK CLACKS. I watched when one of our planes couldn't get the front door open. YIKES
But it did have stabilizer trim and not elevator trim. A bit more jet like.
I flew two of the planes that airlines seemed to like to see in the log book. the original HP 135 Jetstream and the Metroliner.
But this was back in prehistoric times.
YOU ALL BE CAREFUL out there!
