[NEDude]

Lucifer is looking for a winter parka. I spotted a CommutAir Dash 8 parked at Million Air in ALB yesterday. Congrats guys, almost makes me wish I was still there. Almost.

That's funny. I think they're also playing hockey on the river Styx.

They have been on order since 1989.

 

[ILStoMinimums]

How many do they have now?

 

[newnan]

I'd have to see a pic of Mark D or Henry W at the controls to believe it. I guess, operated by Champlain enterprises by the entry door would suffice.

Heard an airplane with a N number ending in "PH" that ATC identified as a Dash operating around the Burlington/Plattsburg area today. They DO exist!

 

[landlover]

The dash8 was piloted by big foot. His co-pilot, the lockness monster.

 

[DASH8AV8R]

Yep thats an x-Horizon -200.

Is it true, they don't have APU's?

So that's what a Dash looks like with new paint, I forgot that it's a good looking airplane when not faded, chipped, and pounded from ice.

are you mentally retarded? do you know how much a dash holds or are you playing stupid?

It doesn't hold 37, even if that is the number of seats!

 

[CFI2766]

It's cute... but it's no ATR.

I didn't actually realize CommuteAir was getting the Dash.

Wouldn't Champy be more appropriate?

 

[racers2207]

I believe CommutAir is getting -200's which will hold 37 people.

Oh yeah, my bad. The 200 is dead to me, didn't even think about it.

If only half the people have checked bags. Otherwise, it's about 34.

Really? Our old 200's did pretty good! Now our 100's are sh$t on restrictions! 34 pax 40 bags!!

Folks if your ever try to jumpseat on PDT Dash 8 100's you can forget it!! Unless we have 7 kids in the back that jumpseat will never be occupied during a full flight!!!! Sad!!

Thank goodness.

ATR and ICE = Get me the hell out of here!! I think I'll take the Dash!!

Can't ever remember having a problem with weight on the -200s unless the leg was really short... There is an 1800lb difference between MGTOW and MGLW.

Gotta disagree with ya about the ATR in ice surf... I does good, you just have to not be stupid and respect it. True, it isn't the ice truck the Dash is, man this thing will carry a sh*t load!

Yea.... I like the ATR and If I had to go thru and junk load of ice, I would rather be strapped in a Dash!!

However on landing, I will take the ATR... lol

Wait, that can't be a CommutAir plane. It isn't sporting a faded, 7 year old USAirways paintjob with a cheap Continental Connection sticker peeling off of it. We need to call MythBusters in on this one.

Commutair's Dashes are from Horizon.

I don't think that is the point. I believe the point is that shiny new paint on a dash8 is going to look REALLY good and out of place sitting next to the company 1900.

Won't look good to the poor pax that has to sit in it on the flight from CLE to JFK. that seems long for the dash 8. But what Am I saying we take pax from cvg to cos I almost feel bad for them to, but they got what they asked for cheap fares, now you get cheap sh!tty aircraft.
