Here's to you Turbo-Prop Man.....

[Booyakasha!]

sitting in your 115 degree cockpit with no apu watching all the pretty young ladies board.........the jet parked at the next gate.

To continue.....where you have the gate agents sit the skirts in 1b on the J31.

To continue.....were you have the gate agents sit the skirts in 1b on the J31.

Oh yeah, I gave some of my worst tirades to new FO's that failed to get the sweet young things into First Class!!!

 

[suupah]

here's to the turbo prop man who is explaining to the disgruntled passenger man that the turbo prop is a jet with a four bladed fan on the front instead of a 25 bladed fan in the front. at which the passenger man shakes his head.....whatever.

 

[topdawg]

What are you compensating for suupah? 2'' ?

Mr. Turbo Prop Man

Here's to the guys that put the gear down after being cleared to land on the 11000' downwind on the old 21R in DTW. And turned off at Y-14 to park at the Golf course. You had it all shutdown before the FA got her announcement finished. I miss the old DTW crowd.

Had a pax stick his head in the Saab cockpit once and ask if it was ok if the tape was peeling on the props. I gave him a shocked expression and replied, "You didn't take it all off, did ya?"

"Seattle Tower, good evening, Horizon 100 over Boeing for 16R."

"Horizon 100, do you have the preceeding Southwest Boeing 737 in sight?"

"That's affirmative."

"Reduce to you minimum approach speed. You have a 70kt overtake."

I guess what the controller wants, the controller gets.......condition levers 1050, gear down, flaps 15, slow to 100 kts......for 5 miles. In the meantime, Southwest has landed, crossed 16L and is taxiing at 40 kts to his gate. At touchdown and the contoller says:

"Horizon 100. Minimum delay on the runway, an Alaska 737 on a one mile final behind you!"

Hmm...you told a Dash to reduce to it's minimum approach speed at the FAF...silly controller.

Ahh...how I love my T-Prop:beer:

 

[belchfire]

Yeah cappy, that's the kind of stuff I'll miss...but I couldn't slow the jball down that much. I always kind of wanted to fly the dash. Commuted on them alot out of CLT. Nice bird.

Why not go 35 and send Alaska around?

Take a wrong turn onto a taxiway but its OK, you can pull a quick U-turn on any 75' taxiway...

A little reverse to blow snow all over your favorite ramper....

Grinding though snowdirfts higher than your prop clearance...

The hooliganism induced by perpetually empty airplanes...

...at least I've heard about such things.

Sounds like Jamestown, NY / Bradford, PA in the winter 9/10 legs a day. Wonderful Lake Erie snow storms.

Youll have to excuse my young jetness but what is a jball?
