That list of aircraft...why would they need such a big plane and the make it go so slow? Why not go for something like a B1900 or Metroliner III? Seems like a HUGE waste of money to buy a plane that big then gut it. If you only need 7 seats max why buy something with so many seats? And don't say because they need the space. They are planning on ripping out most of the insides anyway.
Because DA they have equipment inside that will weigh quite a bit to start with airspeed well forget going on as you know nothing about aircraft and what it takes to do a mission either. Go back to your computer games or if you are at work do what you are paid for.
I did not see this post. I'm an A&P and part 147 instructor so yeah, I know a little about aircraft.
