I logged PIC time in this very tail number between late 1988 and early 1989. It was operated by an airline called Westair which was based in Fresno. In that era N617KC made commuter flights throughout California. Westair had a fleet of these Bandits, most of which have likely received this same fate by now.

Starting a 2 stop commute from the one taxicab town of Lebanon, NH. The TSA out numbered the revenue passengers for our 19 seater. Only 4 pax but even so the airline extracted my roll-aboard bag making me check it thru, strictly enforcing the 1 carry on + 1 personal item rule. Gate Agent in training / patient customer.
The pilot on the Washington leg had a sense of humor. After a well timed pause after landing. He keyed the PA and to the otherwise silent cabin anonymously quipped. “that was easy“.
