I have replaced the images marked with unacceptable licenses with my own acceptable licenced photograph. It's nowhere near as good (sorry!), but the licensing issue takes precedent.

Wings

I corrected an error regarding the making of the Saab 340 wings after the 340 - project was taken over entirely by SAAB. Following this the wings were made in Sweden at the SAAB plant in Linköping. The wings for the later SAAB 2000 turboprop though, were manufactured in Spain.

Yes, you're right - I had been a-wondering about this and irt was on my list to check - thanks - Ballista 04:39, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

End of production

The infobox has production ending in 1999, but the article text states that production of civilian aircraft ended in 2005, implying that production of the military variant continues. Which is the correct information? I'll be checking my sources, but I'd appreciate any help in clarifying the production dates & status. --Ssbohio 02:07, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind. The way it was written confused me, but what was intended (apparently) was that Saab ceased 340 production in 1999, and ceased all civil aircraft production in 2005. --Ssbohio 02:35, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Environment

All I remember about it is that it was cramped and extremely loud, but it got the just done in the Midwest. Kevin Rutherford 01:25, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Inconsistent information

Now it currently says that Saab made the vertical stabilizer, and Fairchild made the empennage. But according to the definition of empennage, it includes the vertical stabilizer as well as the horizontal part. So there is an inconsistency there.Eregli bob (talk) 05:38, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Missing Airline - Calm Air (operating out of Winnipeg/Churchill Manitoba Canada) flies several Saab340b+ models - there greatest flaw is that you can't fit larger carry on baggage in the cabin. I've seen them take off and land beautifully in some pretty ugly blizzards - its impressive how well they handle the extreme cold of the north. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.126.246.4 (talk) 15:45, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also the 'never exceed speed' seems to be lower than the cruise speed, which seems odd.
