Sorry Convair, just saw your post.
Yabadaba nailed it though. Great airplane 10-15 years ago but it's getting long in the tooth. You need a good sized runway to base it out of and some cheap fuel. Range is okay if you're based in the center of the country (we are). From the pilot perspective, performance is good and it's a nice flying bird. Avionics can vary of course.
I enjoyed flying it and the pax seemed to really enjoy it. I've no idea what they budgeted it for an hour, but I can likely find out if you're interested.
