An oldtimer once told me that more times than not an airplane flies like it looks.

The Jetstream (Jetscream, WetDream) is no exception, it was laterally stable but it always seems to be out pitch trim and it yawed all over the place in turbulence. Decent power and I guess reasonably fast (faster than a 1900C not a D) but the systems were designed in the 1960's and it showed.

But, its one of those airplanes that really teaches you alot about flying, it makes you work for it. It was a very good stepping stone between a small piston twin and the RJ.
