    Brings back memories of numerous flights to and from FYV on the original Frontier Airlines and later Metroflight for American Eagle! Did you know that the CV-580 designation is not official? The CV-580 designation came from Frontier’s Marketing Department and it was so popular that it stuck. Officially the converted are either CV-340A or CV-440A depending upon the aircraft’s original designation (CV-340 or CV-440)

      Several on Controller and Trade A Plane. The usual "if you have to ask you can't afford it" prices. On paper you could fly one on a private license with a multi-engine rating. In reality you'd want a commercial license (at least) and recurrent training equivalent to a type rating, whether your country required a type rating or not.

    From a Pacific Coastal exec: current value of one of their B1900s, $2.5M. Quoted cost for required engine replacement, if new, $2M (without installation). If upgrading entire aircraft, current (i.e. those available, or in actual pre-production phase...so not including the proposed hydro or electric initiatives) newer models able to replace a B1900? Let L-410, D328eco (unproven), Viking Twin Otter -400. Not a lot of choice. So, expect to see the 1900 around for a while yet, in Canadian skies, at least.
