I don't believe Carson has any 1900's, unless they recently acquired one. Also, Georgian is no longer utilizing the 1900 as far as I know.

Re: 1900 operators in Canada
to op. any particular reason 1900 there are lots of other 704 machines types out there?
Re: 1900 operators in Canada
Maybe it’s because it’s such a great looking aircraft.

19 seater PT6 for 704, there isn't many on the market...
Master of Cessna 172
It has been 0 days since I've almost died in an airplane.
Never trust a student with fuel and oil.

The 1900D isn't a pretty plane. I've flown in CMA and Pasco examples. But they're fast...

I always think of this when I see a 1900D.

NT Air and CMA 1900s are all dual registered.jakeandelwood wrote: ↑Wed Jun 12, 2019 9:24 am Is Northern Thunderbird Air not around anymore? I havent been in the game for a while.I guess they were part of CMA.
Carson actually has two 1900s. They were bought in hopes of getting a bariatric medevac contract... which has never happened in BC, it’s always been ad hoc. They went begging to Alberta to try and get one there not realizing that Can West has all new King Air 250s and 350s with cargo doors and winches that can do any bariatric work.flying4dollars wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2019 11:39 am I don't believe Carson has any 1900's, unless they recently acquired one.

So they do ad hoc bariatric flying in BC and charters the rest of the time with it. Not really the best time to get into the 1900 business when most people are going to bigger 705 machines.
They were doing the Watson Lake crew changes with Alkans 1900s and 200s... sitting up there all day... hoping that they wouldn’t ice up or have to reposition their planes to Fort Nelson or Whitehorse and reposition their profits to the fuel and deice companies.
Geez did I say that....? Or just think it....?

Re: 1900 operators in Canada
I always thought the 1900D looked like a catfish. Bunch of weird fins and whiskers sticking out of it.
And yeah, it's the least bad of all the horrible commuter category airplanes that formed under those weird regs.

Re: 1900 operators in Canada
Interesting! Thanks for that info! Thunderbird wanted to convert a 1900 to medevac back in the day for that very reason. I'm not sure I know of any Canadian operators that converted a 1900 to bariatric medevac machines.iflyforpie wrote: ↑Sun Jun 16, 2019 1:37 pmNT Air and CMA 1900s are all dual registered.jakeandelwood wrote: ↑Wed Jun 12, 2019 9:24 am Is Northern Thunderbird Air not around anymore?

EVAS has a dedicated 1900D MEDEVAC machine. It sits in YYT on the Irving ramp. Barely moves.flying4dollars wrote: ↑Tue Jun 18, 2019 3:26 pmInteresting! Thanks for that info!

Re: 1900 operators in Canada
Northern Air tried it as a bariatric machine. In the end the medics loved it, but the fuel bill is huge compared to a B250C or even B350C (with cargo doors) and meeting accelerate stop, accelerate go, and net take off flight path means it can't go into half the strips in the province.
