The Saab 340 is a 34-seat turboprop that defined regional flying in the '90s. Swedish engineering, built like a tank, and somehow still flying after decades of hard service on short runways.
Fun fact
Saab exited the commercial aviation market in 1999, but hundreds of 340s are still flying daily.
How to spot one
Low-wing turboprop, unusual configuration. Swedish-built. Getting rare in commercial service.
