I think between Hendricks and Joe Gibbs the last four Saab 2000's in the US are Nascar ops

Now thats funny!!! Nice one Dingo

Seriously though, the Q200 is 37-39 seats with field requirements around 2700' and it's a common TR between all Q's, i.e. no differences training required. That would be a logical replacment albeit a bit of a waste of millions of bucks. If you were going to pay the money, probably get more revenue from a 400 on another route
