Anyone here fly the Saab 2000?
 

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.

Swashplate:

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...

Steady on old chap!
