Default Who is selling their Metro III's?
Rumor has it a company around me is purchasing at least 3 metros, just curious if there is someone going out of business with said metros?

Western Air had some Metro's for sale in the Controller. Not sure if they are in business or not though. What about Sierra West, they still kicking?

we got one of the Lynx Metros and OMG... we are going to spend about $20k just on the interior... smells like urine & crap. I guess the passengers would just 'let it out' on that 3 hour flight from Cap Haitien and Ft. Lauderdale.

We are also getting 2 more, but we don't get them until March.

There are 2 Metro III's for sale in California, but they are early 80 models and light's, so they don't help us...
