SUA has 40 metroliners ready for leasing. They lost 1 in a rather famous crash that happened recently. SUA flight 5045 after touching down, it floored it down the runway, missing its entire tail section, and struck an metroliner parked at the end of the runway. The L-1011 flipped over and exploded while the metroliner was shoved out of the way. As you can see the metroliner was destroyed. Out of the 20 people on board, 9 survived. All 3 crew on the L-1011 were instantly killed in the explosion. The L-1011 spilled its hazardous cargo everywhere so 2 extra people from the metroliner died as well.
