We greeted our newest member of the fleet at the end of March. Actually, it arrived in Nairobi the same day that we arrived back in Nairobi after being in Addis Ababa. It is a King Air B200, with the registration of N468SP. We de-registered the other King Air and gave this one the same name. It's a 1998 model, like 15 or more years newer than the other one. So far it looks pretty good. There are a few differences from the other one, but it's still a hot rod machine!
Where she sits in the hangar these days while getting some final things worked out before going active.
This one has a different cargo door arrangement. The little door in the back is a modification done to the normal airstair door. It's a bit different, but should meet the needs out here in Kenya.
Note some differences: different exhaust stacks, different paint on the cowlings, different landing gear doors. I'm sure there are more, but those are some of the obvious ones. It looks good anyway!
