Adam, I'm not sure of the situation, but I think Beech bought them all 
up and destroyed most, except for a few museum planes. They apparently 
saw problems ahead, but I don't know the details. There were a few 
operating out of Nashville some years ago, but I haven't seen an active 
one in a long time.
