You guys could ship the joke with the paint job back to the 1970's together and save some cash.
I think it looks sharp. Good on Bearskin.

Looks hot. Congrats to the guys/girls at JV.
Will 'the giv' be installing the trimble 2000 in them?
Can't go without the 'two clicks back'.

actually he was complaining about the leather seats saying they will be too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer. and the saab already has a trimble installed.

With a shitter on the Saab, THIN CRUST will be able to eat more habanero wings.

How many hours on that Saab? is it an A or B model? Provincial Airlines out East just got an extension on there old pigs, they were originally only built for 50 000 hrs but believe it or not, Saab is gonna give them an extension for 75 000. They are somewhere around 65000 right now apparently they are the highest timed Saab 340's in the world.......Crazy!

Close.... Saab's (A at least, dunno about the B's) are certified for 60000 hrs and PAL's highest is at 58000+, but still the highest in the world.

So is it bearskin operating it or do they have Calm Air operating it on there behalf until they get the flight attendents/pilots trained up for it?

Exactly. It says in small print just aft of the entrance door "Operated by Calm Air International." Hopefully Bearskin pilots will be on it by the fall, in time for the planned addition of a second Saab.
