The aircraft were acquired by the airline's current owners, Victory Park, who bought twenty-one 1900Ds from Raytheon (RAY, Tucson International (TUS)) for Silver Airways' predecessor, Gulfstream International Airlines (3M, Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International (FLL)), in 2011. The Florida-based operator had used its 1900Ds on flights throughout Florida, the Bahamas and Cleveland under the United Express banner.
What's the source on this?!? It shows a date of May 13, 2013. But it also says that Silver has 17 Saabs, when we actually have 27. So I question the validity of this article.
