This is rediculous, but there is no way for me to prove it unless I can get some info on the airfoil of the 1900. If I could find out what the critical mach number is I could prove to him that at .48M (Mmo in the 1900c) we are nowhere near the critical mach #. Anyone know where to look?

I've been flying the 1900 for about six months.. had a guy set off the overspeed for a second once.

We're still here.
