A total of 10 more airframes are allegedly headed our way. There are lots of 402's out there. I'm confident that we will get just enought to make the operation work. Just.
Yeah, that first one is in paint. 407BK was in for pre-purchase inspection. The fact that it's back at Island tells you how that went! The boys are in AK right now.
So we have the first and last made C402s. Not sure if that's a good or bad distinction.
