Admittedly not too familiar with the types of operations these aircraft have historically been tasked with. What do you see as the next replacement for these aircraft types? Without jumping up in PAX capacity significantly.
Your thoughts are most appreciated!!!

There isn't any. Unless there is a large demand for new aircraft of that capacity, nobody will build them. Raytheon is concentrating on private and business aircraft, BAE and SAAB are done producing whole civil aircraft, and Embraer and Bombardier are making ever larger regional jets and turboprops.
It's nothing new in aviation. If you want to buy a new Navajo, you are shown a Caravan. If you want to buy a new Otter, you are shown a Caravan. Otherwise you have to rebuild old ones, which becomes difficult when you are up against airworthiness limitations.

HawkerBeech filed for Chapter 11 recently.
Looks like I should crank up that Metroliner factory again.

Yes. Too bad the Czech-built LET L-610/Ayers 7000 project never "took off". The LET L-410 is good. The L-610 would have been even better.
