Plus no use for a full freighter and a combi conversion would be alot of money again.<br />LFT is a light weight Metro III, MTOW is 2000lbs less than CIC and again Metro's are relatively cheap to buy. Parts are expensive, can get alot of value out of breaking one down into spares.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397738201762479975.post-16634344539860848832015-09-23T07:14:57.913+12:002015-09-23T07:14:57.913+12:00if knowing what air chats is like, they are probab...if knowing what air chats is like, they are probably destroying the better of the two aircraft, just like they did to CID.............Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397738201762479975.post-24572268540266823342015-09-23T07:12:31.369+12:002015-09-23T07:12:31.369+12:00Good way to get that metro cockpit iv been after t...Good way to get that metro cockpit iv been after then is it???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397738201762479975.post-70840445203947695792015-09-22T21:25:48.464+12:002015-09-22T21:25:48.464+12:00We will not be "deploying" it anywhere. ...We will not be "deploying" it anywhere.

No way would Air Chathams compete with Air New Zealand.
