SAAB guys and girls,

How do you like the plane? Over/underpowered, fun to hand fly, etc., etc..... Any comments about the plane would be great. Looks like it would be a blast to fly!

The Saab is a fun ride. Lots of power when your light in the back. We don't have autothrottles like you guys but we do have CTOT and that's almost just as good. I wanted to fly a TP and I love the Saab. We get to flip more switches and do more hand flying than the RJ's. And when something breaks we don't have a computer diagnosing the problem

Oh yeah...and we got beta baby

Nothing could be more fun than tight in visual approaches that the saab can do.
