Been working in the hangar the last week or so as two new Saab 340Bs have turned up for heavy maintenance before beginning their careers with VA. The interiors are being fully refurbished amongst other things. Thought you guys might want to see a couple of pics.

VH-UYN just after arriving in NZ. To be registered ZK-VAA:

The second Saab, VH-UYN out in the spring sunshine...

...... right next to JSH, having a break from Airways Calibration work.

Enjoy

Tom , one type i really liked flying on , the Saab 340 .. you can really feel the airframe tweak in the very back seat , the Jetstream im guessing be very similar , Thanks for the photos and figure maybe on a 340 at some later stage .

Nice shots, thanx for sharing. Love the 340's, such a shame there isnt a decent one for the sim.
Last flew on one in Rarotonga 3 years ago. Nice machines.
They heading back to Oz after the refit?
