Bit expensive if you bang the nose wheel down hard ... there's not a lot of clearance there!

Not much - but just enough. That poor nosewheel has been 'Autobrake-high-ed' into the runway many a time. I believe someone even managed to touch the nosewheel down before the mains!

Makes you wonder why the AAC did not follow suit like the US Army with their large fleet of SEMA over the decades. Namely Beechcraft series
