The Beechcraft 1900C was one of the most successfull regional airliners in the 19 passenger category. Strange surfaces on the horizontal stabalizer and rear of fuselage. I suppose that they have some kind of aerodynamic function.

US Air flight enroute from Rochester, NY. to White Plains NY. USA  Herman |

Excellent Photos Herman, very realistic. Dave  Beech 1900 Other changes include more powerful engines, a modified tail with tailets, and stabilons on the lower rear fuselage. |

We've got quite a few of those suckers running around the country "HERE" .... as part of the AIR NEW ZEALAND domestic fleet   Probably the "ugliest aircraft in our fleet" ....in my personal oppinion .... with all those fins'n'things looking as though they were added as an afterthought  ;D Only here we don't call them "BEECH's"  Instead we call them "pregnant dogES" ;D .... but .... I don't think the HJG forum "auto-censor" will let me communicate that ("B-word") expression. For new trainee (only) crews I've heard they're actually quite tricky master .... in the landing phase at least ! I presume this's another PAD model Herman ? Mark C AKL/NZ |

Yes Mark, the Beech 1900C is another Premier Aircraft Design model. I wouldn't say that the aircraft is "ugly", but it certainly does have a "differrent" appearance, at least the tail end of it. You may be confusing the 1900C model with the later 1900D, which has an extended roof to allow passengers to stand up.  Herman |

Well Mark, I am sure that there are plenty of "uglier" airplanes out there besides the Beech 1900. So I must use one of your own famous quotes "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". ;D ;D Herman |

Nice photos Herman, as far as being ugly, Well, I agree with you, about in the eyes of the beholder.
