I don't mind MKE-GRR or MSN, but STL and DSM are a bit far in such a cramped plane. Since the leases on the B1900 are up within a year, they might not be around much longer.

I do have to say, before 9/11 when the pilots wouldn't close the door to the cockpit and you could watch the flight and landing, I looked forward to flights in the Beech the most! I flew MKE-MSN one dark stormy night and sat right up front. Watching that landing through the front window was an awesome experience!
