Ah was just going to mention that myself. Heard it departing from Ardmore whilst out flying morning, planned via Wanganui to Nelson.

I love the SAAB 340s tho only flew on them in OZ .. and people's here say i'm the only one who liked them think it was always scoring the rear seat every time
Ian - If you liked Saabs as I did you will love the 1900 - one of my flights - Wellington to Gisborne I sat in seat 1A, the 1900s have no cockpit door which is great, they even gave me a headset to listen in on the flight!![]()
Saab 340s I think most people didn't like them cos they were noisy - but thats why I liked them!'All things are possible to him that believes'

Sitting in the back is suppose to be the noisy area .. i wonder had they rolled out a Bristol Freighter they would have changed there minds
