I believe Lakes is currently flying 5 Brasilias, and they are currently looking at bringing another one on-line. Rumor has it that the Brasilia may be the workhorse of the flightline in the not-to-distant future. As the some of the 1900D's approach 25,000 hours (next couple of years), it will become financially prohibitive to perform the required maintenance inspections. At that time, the company likely will need to find a/c to replace them. With the operating costs of the 30-seat Brasilia very close to that of the 19-seat Beech, it seems like the logical replacement, allbeit a hangar queen.
