That is a great link for information that Golden Bear gave you. If you go to that page, then click on the History link and look 3/4 of the way down the page.
Starting with the paragraph that starts:
During the mid-1980s, in an effort to address fuel conservation and the structural condition of the Sabreliner 80 fleet, a decision was made to purchase a new flight inspection aircraft to replace the Sabre 80. Beechcraft offered a modified version of its Beechcraft BE-300 Super King Air turboprop-powered corporate transport. In 1986 the FAA ordered 19 of the Super King with an upgraded AFIS system, with deliveries commencing in 1988. .....
That page shows good pictures of what aircraft they are flying at present and what fleet they hope to go to in the future.
Currently they are flying the King Air 300 with an EFIS cockpit but are updating with ProLine21 avionics. they are also still flying the Lear 60s but are in the process of phasing them out for a fleet of Challenger 601, 604 and 605 fleet.
