Those Saabs were Mesaba Saabs used in the LGA ops. Look closer and you will see they are all XJ tail numbers. That's the last of the Mesaba Saabs waiting for thier trip to BGR for return to Saab.
But the Colgan Saabs are soon to go too because of the expensive avionics upgrades that will be needed next year.
