In 1977 a model was re-engined and tested with ducted fans, but the fans was replaced by standard engines. With 1.280 planes build, and still counting, its one of the best selling commercila aircraft produced in Europe. The planes in service works as regional airliners, cargo aircrafts and military troop transport or support aircrafts.

Trivia

The crash scene was filmed in Obertilliach, Austria. Building of the set in Obertilliach started in September 2014 before the winters snowfall. The main piece of the set was the barn the plane finally crashes through. But also other buildings were build or relocated for the set.
