BAH!

Why are there no 1900C models built that nicely? That way I could repaint it in Frontier colors!

The PMDG Beech is a bargain payware plane.  I think it worked out to be about

Ya it is a great bargain at $15 US.  Nowadays thanks the exchange rate it is probably around 7 Euros or English Pounds I would think.  Good to be a European these days if you want to shop here in the U.S.

It's from PMDG Software and has a VC and non VC models.  

I'm currently flying the EMB-135/145/145XR series of regional jets.  Whole different world than the non-autopilot, EFIS only equipped 1900D.

Naw, that's just a fictional one I've created for personal use.  I'm thinking about starting a virtual airline maybe.  That's just a paint scheme I'm playing around with.

This is a picture of my old ride.  I may have been in that very airplane when that picture was taken, who knows.  BTW the Beech was a blast to fly in real life even w/out an autopilot.  Gotta love a plane with way more power than you'll ever need.  1279 shp per engine and capable of 1600+ shp/engine in an emergency. Never even came close to taking off with full (firewalled) power.  But oh the noise from those props, I always thought we should have provided the customers with earplugs, that's the least we could have done.  ::)
