Anyone here fly the Saab 2000?

[FL CH]

I saw one recently and it looked like a very nice machine. What are the like to fly, what sort of performance do they have and do passengers like flying in them?

Fl CH:

I flew IN one a few years ago, with the then 'Buisness Air' (whatever happened to them?) from MAN to GLA one clear Friday night.
Quite liked it, I had a seat to myself (1 + 2 layout) - seemed like a large window, so good views. IOM lit up at night!
Bumpy landing at GLA, but that must have been the yoke-operator (only kidding, chaps!!)
OK for short trips, but wouldn't really like to spend more than a few hours in one.

Business Air became British Midland Commuter about two years ago. We've never had Saab 2000s though, but Saab 340s (considerably smaller).

Glad you liked it. It's not a bad piece of kit to drive either!

Cloggy...
