[soltray]

Flying the beech

248 till 2.8 Those that have flown the beech know what I am talking about.

 

[Stifler's Mom]

As you are parked up against the terminal in ATL, waiting to board...you watch the passengers exit onto the ramp with a look of horror on their faces when they say..."Oh my God...it's a prop plane."

 

[suupah]

You must have looked so cool to your DE when you showed up for your Private Pilot checkride in a single engine jet, since you obviously have never flown a prop before.

So here's to you, turbo fan man.....

yes here is to you turbo fan man....soaring above the prop jockeys, screaming though the atmosphere at mach.78 with 50 souls aboard to exotic destinations all while getting paid 18k a year.

here's to you turbo fan man! ker krack guzzle guzzle beeeeehlch!

Here is to you Turbo-Prop man...

When your at a non-aviation social gathering and some people find out your a turbo-prop captian and ask "when will you be able to fly big jets"?

Your able to bite your tonge, think to yourself (your going on 40, have way to much pic time) and say " I really don't think I'll every really have what it take to make it in the big jets" with a straight face.

You're a turboprop man if the worst thing about your new sim training is trying to figure out the fracking autopilot and fms! What a pain in the ax!
At least it's not in an RJ...

 

[suupah]

having to answer the question...."so when will you be an airline pilot?" right after you told them you fly t-props for an airline

 

[Prop2Jet]

Or .... o my god is that thing safe?

 

[Pogue Mahone]

The only go-around I ever did at LGA was because Mr Turboprop Pilot Man couldn't (or wouldn't) clear his Dash from 31 in time. He didn't turn off until the last taxi before crossing Rwy 4.

and...

 

[XJETDriver]

Hmmm, My Turbo Prop has a APU with nice bleed air!! The cockpit is probably bigger then yours and is nice and quiet in cruise!! And my FO sitting beside me makes more money then the FO taxing by us in a CRJ/900!! Ouch!!

And if your in a 50 Seat RJ, hmmmm... I see all those parked in the desert soon while Turbo Props are still puddle jumping around the country!

Calm down...you need to get a sense of humor! And everyone makes more money than Mesa(CRJ900).



Cant spell

 

[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.

 

[belchfire]

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?

 

[MalmsteenFan]

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?
