The blokes that are saying that there is not a lot of difference In operating costs between the PC-12 and the b200 how are you arriving at those figures? I've run a rough count over fuel figures alone based on 600lb for the b200 and 450 for the PC-12 which over 20000 hours works out to a saving of 3.75 million alone for the PC-12. Chuck on top the extra 2 million for the purchase price on the kingair. The PC-12 must be a hell of a maintenance hog if the operating costs are similar.
