Apparently the Saabs were going to supplement or surpass the 1900 on many routes at the same basic cost however that was based on NZ/FAA regs and because of an absurd CASA rule regarding the span of the main gear ratio to the strip width which I've long forgotten being back in the real world again..theres only a couple of places they can go in the NT with them..so that was a fizzer..good luck to the crews..tough place to make ends meet in Darwin..weeks rent in an apartment was the GDP of a pacific island nation and Vincent's pay wasn't exactly "industry best"
