Four. But I hear there is a 5 blade conversion although I have not seen it.

I've only seen the five blade variety, that's what made me curious.

I hear the five blade is quieter in the cabin. We are 400 hours from either new motors or an upgrade to a 200. If we stick with what we got I'll be fighting for the conversion.

I am sick to death of these media know-nothings. Think about it for a moment. We know how much they had wrong with this story, the Jet Blue gear problem, or any other aviation story for that matter. What makes anyone think their coverage of any other field is accurate?

And yet, it's quite clear pilots are STILL overpaid and underworked. Right?

Saw a quick video snippet...how much room did he have when he stopped. Looks like he landed waaay down the runway, but then again, I don't know how long the runway was, so maybe not an issue.

He probably had 450 feet or so before he went off the end of 32 and down into the woods..

Looks like I chose the wrong time to leave Atlanta. All that time spent re-paving 8-26, too...

Hey Tram, think you could shoot those photos my way? Or tell me who took them?

FB- Yeh, I'll send them to you when I get them.. I am sure they'll be on Airliners.net soon..

Do the five blades come with the dash 10 conversion?

All information in this post is in reference to National Flight's upgrade. I am not sure about Garrett's engine program.

The five blade conversion is not included in NF's -10 conversion, although it is an option. Additional options include winglets and Flight Enviroments Super Soundproofing.

I have seen several 100's with dual aft body strakes. I assume this was a Rasiebeck mod, but it could be NF.
