sa227 or b1900 type, which is more useful in Africa?

[woog315]

I have the opportunity to choose between training in a sa227 and a b1900, and my goal is, after working for this company for a few years, to go to Africa and work. Which type rating would give me the best chance of getting a job in Africa? I suspect a 1900 would be more useful, but how common is the sa227?

Not too many metro liners around Africa, but millions of B1900.

if i've told you once, i've told you a million times - don't exaggerate!

but yeah there must be at least 100 1900's of various alphabet denomination stooging around afwica.....

The B200 and the B1900 are the most common in Africa.The PT6 engine seems to handle the hot and high temps that are commonplace in the continent.
Nothing wrong with the Metro but not many to be seen in these parts.
