I have a couple K worth of hrs on the 1900 (flew C's). So I am entitled to say........ I think my Grandma could fly/land one. Drunk. Total Powder Puff of a plane. Like a big ol' pickup truck. I LOVE that a/c; load her up, ice her up, slow, fast, X-wind, tailwind, land her on gravel, grass, sand, ocean ice, snow, slush, mud.......she will just trundle along no problemo. Total workhorse! Stable in all configurations (even over gross and out of CG.........I have been told,
)
I give my vote for the 1900; I have never flown a Metro, however....that said......
Holy %$@# snacks..........the ol' San Antonio Sewer Pipe had a JATO!?!?!?!
I learned to fly in Denver, home of Key Lime Pie Air; I can't believe I didn't know that!
