Cargo capacity

This article gives a cargo capacity of 4 cubic meters, which is implausible, even if the citation is truthful. Other sources give about 4x that cargo capacity. Suggest a fact (or math/unit) check and new reference for the cargo capacity. 67.169.166.36 (talk) 21:07, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Removed, not supported by Jane's 1982-83. Figure has been there since the early days of this article and possibly relates to the rear luggage compartment of an earlier variant. Jane's gives 490 cu ft for the fuselage 45 cu ft for the nose luggage compartment and 136 cu ft for the rear compartment. Volumes are rarely given in specs sections, more relevant is weight (of cargo). Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 09:51, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Don’t put FlyPelican out of Fairchild Swearingen Metroliner

Please stop erasing FlyPelican out of the Fairchild Swearingen Metro because the plane has worked with and is currently in FlyPelican right now, so please stop erasing it. Xavierromelf (talk) 17:17, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Have you a reliable source according to FlyPelican they operate Jetstreams, and they would need to operate a large number to appear in the infobox. MilborneOne (talk) 17:20, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
