Swedish made aircraft by
Saab automotive group. Often mistaken for a
Fairchild Metroliner as parts for both aircraft are difficult to find.
Also the #1 aircraft choice by
Australia's largest independent airline; Regional Express for their cost effectiveness.
Engineer 1: "You fixed that control issue on the
Saab 340 yet?"
Engineer 2: "Well not really, we ran out of
cabling so I took some from the metro, but that wasn't enough.
Rang up Sweden and they ran out back in 1985"
