The story
Saab stopped making the 2000 in 1999 after just 63, and only a handful still carry passengers, alongside a few military versions. Fast, quiet, and extremely comfortable for a turboprop.
The Saab 2000 was the first airliner to use the Allison AE 2100 turboprop, the same engine family that later powered the C-130J Super Hercules.
