Word is from the CP that we will Collins FMS with full GPS / RNAV and EFB's by year end. They are already giving the INDOC tests etc. on the EFB IPads.

I flew the mighty Saab B+ for 4.5 years, the RV style a/c works for the 1-2 passengers sitting right below it in the back. The cockpit is a boiler with no external air cart but it's a solid plane overall, invest in ear protection.
