When designed in the late seventies/early eighties, the Cessna people anticipated that the aircraft would have a single customer, they would build a large fleet for that customer, and discontinue the model. The anticipated customer was FedEx.

At least, it did not require much of a climb for boarding.

I have seen one or two come in here during Bonaroo week.  They are still
in use for inexpensive charter service.

Some outfit, I forget the name, is making scheduled flights from
Nashville to Jackson, TN, Tupelo, MS, etc.  It sure beats taking the bus!

I always liked the Rockwell Twin Aero Commander for short-haul passenger service, though it did have structural problems. Still an attractive looking twin turboprop.
