I presume one reason high-bypass turbofans (A10) are preferred vice
turboprops is that in the balance the fans are a more economical choice. No props to get nicked, no gearbox to worry about, over-all less maintenance and less cost. And quieter - the Beech 1900s flying overhead here really howl when trying to make an ETA. Less noise is good when prowling around. But what is really good is a supersonic approach when dealing with a known show target- surprise! Walt BJ
