That would have been my next guess. Actually, "pencil with wings" to my mind suggests the Beechcraft 99, but I don't think (m)any were in passenger service by 1999. There's one on the ground at my local airport tonight, operated by Freight Runners Express. We used to see them a lot from Wiggins, but lately they've been running Cessna Skyvans, tonight two of them a few minutes apart.
