Beech 1900 Corporate Operators

[FlightTraker]

Does anybody know of any corporate Beech 1900 operators. I like the plane, just can't stand working for peanuts at my current airline job!@#$? Any info is appreciated. Thanks

Rick Hendrick Motorsports in Concord, NC (KJQF) flies:

5 Beech 1900D's
2 King Airs
2 Gulfstream III's (rumor is he's selling one)
2 Hawkers (although I think one is strictly for Jeff Gordon - N24JG)

Don't know if they're hiring or not.

No ... Jiffy Jeff has a Falcon 200.

Hendrick's 1900s are in BUY often for prop work. Last one I saw had new paint and int. Nice stuff.

Having spoken to a few NASCAR pilots (a lot of Beech T-Props there) I can tell you that it's another case of knowing the right folks and being there at the right time. RCR hired a 400-hour CFI for their Beech stuff last year (I think he started in the B200) ... but he knew a few people already. RCR also runs an older EMB120 and was rumored to be looking at a Hawker XP but I dunno what happened.

Try getting to know folks at Concord, GSO, or EXX. You never know ...

If I remember correctly, Marvin windows has a 1900 based out of northern Minnesota and shuttles people between MSP and there. Also I believe Schwans (the frozen food company) has one based somewhere in Minnesota and usually shuttles from MSP. I have seen the Marvin Windows 1900 at MSP (has a bright yellow tail), but have only read about schwans in propilot. 2 Reputable operators with jets also in the fleet for advancement. hope this helps Jumppilot

I think you're making a mistake by looking for the very small group of B1900 operators . . . if you aren't typed in the 350, you would be better off looking for King Air operators who would be willing to put you in the left seat, instead of chasing down the handful of 1900 operators who are going to be looking for typed pilots.

Also, if you find that the King Air operators need more total time, you might start looking for a jet FO job- that may even be easier to find than King Air PIC jobs.

Your best bet is to focus your search on the cities with a good concentration of corporate iron, and pick 20-30 companies to focus on, and workl them consistently. Blind resumes almost never result in anything, it takes follow-through.

Good luck

Mendards in Eau Claire WI have 1900s for shuttles. Stop in Winston-Salem NC if you're in the area. A number of race teams run through Piedmont-Hawthorne. I don't know if they're based there are just in for Mx.

I saw one of Menard's B1900D's at FWA a few weeks ago. Unfortunately I didn't run into the crew so I couldn't get any info from them about their flight operations. Nice airplane though.

 

[Lrjtcaptain]

the only two i know of are

menards has a few
and the Schwann man.

they have a C650 and a B1900d

Check out Wachovia's flight department. It's been awhile, but I remeber them running a corporate shuttle with a 1900D from FTY-CLT-FTY a few times a day. Also check out Autec in PBI. They have to D's and run the a few times a day to Fresh Creek on Andros I. in the Bahamas.

Good Luck,

The Raytheon website is advertising for at KA-350 position. Check it out. http://www.rayjobs.com/raycruiter/index.cfm
I think it said 3000 TT and 1000 ME, ATP and Class I or II medical required.

I am a former Menard pilot. They operate out of Eau Claire, WI. 3-1900's, bravo's and a X. Let me know if you want more info. Schawn's Foods out of Marshal, MN has 1900's and Xcel's. Good place if you can stand living in Marshal. Marvin Window's has 1900's. Which is in Warroad which is worse than Marshal. That is all of them in the midwest area that I know of.

Menards

Proline- Good luck ever talking to one of them. I see their 1900 at DPA all the time. They stop just long enough to shut down one engine, load the people, get their clearance and restart the engine. I always wondered how many 1900's they had though, now I know.

On the KA 350 route though, You might try the Tenn. or Kentucky area airports, there is a big John Deer distrib. that has a couple of King Airs.

Thanks Flyguy! By chance, do you know the name of the John Deere distributor? Or at least the city in which the company or airplanes are based? PM me the response if you want or just post it.

Try Profile Aviation Services in Hickory, NC. They are in the process of putting on two and maybe more exec configured 1900c's for 135. 1-828-322-3291.

Proline- Sorry for taking time to answer your last question. You'll have to give me a few moer days. I stopped buy the airport I met them at (DKB-Dekalb IL) but no one there remembers them. I drive a truck in the local area, so the next time im at the local John Deer dealer, I'll ask them who the big dealer down south is. I just need a few more days to get you an answer.

Thanks Flyguy. No hurry. I'll also do some research and see if I can dig up any info.

Proline- I stopped by the local John Deer dearlership today and the best I could come up with is......try looking for information on a dearlership named "Sloan". They have 7 dearlerships around the sourthern IL. area. No one really knew anything about them, I believe they were up in Dekalb for a convention. I hope this helps, maybe at least it's some were to start.
