SkyWest Q400's

[cfi_greg]

Heard there are two sitting in the hanger in Tuscon. Any truth to this?

My original post has been censored -- maybe because I was too close to the truth. I have been told to report the following:

No, it's not true. There are actually 6. We have 13 more in SLC and I hear that there are 8 more scattered around the northeast.

We're waiting for the next full moon and a super-secret message to be delivered before they are all compiled in Denver to unleash their fury all over Colorado and the intermountain West.

Yep. Just read it on flightinfo.

Yes, but they're still in boxes waiting to be assembaled.

I heard rumours on the internets...

 

[Dubya]

You know, maybe this is true. Maybe Skywest is getting Q400's. Maybe a rumor on FI is actually true. Maybe some of you know more than everyone thinks you do.

Whatever the truth may be, one thing is for certain.

Mesa sucks.

Just make sure on the walk around that the wheels are attached.

Would somebody in Tucson go and check?

Isn't there a Bombardier hangar next door to the SkyWest hangar?

No its not true, skywest is done with props.

 

[flyboyzz1]

props are for boats and 100 seat jets are for republic pilots...

This sound like the on going 900 rumors ASA had for almost a year. "Heard a capt saw a 900 with ASA on the nose in Macon!" If SKW gets the Q400, we would hear about WAY before we see it.

There Horizon aircraft. Will be flying out of LA with them.

Certain airplanes don't "fly out of LA". They all go through LA. We have 3 Q400's that we are delaying delivery of, maybe that is what they are?

So is XJT. See how well that line of thinking has worked out?

There have been two Q-400s parked out in front of the skywest hangar in TUS for a few months now. They're just being stored there according to the mechanics, but what fun is that.....

The quetions is what colors are they painted in? Horizon has 3 new 400's parked in the desert.
