Skywest to Aspen

[rice]

On another note, what kind of loads can the CRJ/ERJ's carry into Aspen????

I imagine that Republic might rethink losing the Q's when the winds kick up (preventing normal ops to Rwy 15) and the ERJ's can't do the circle to land on Rwy 33.

True but man was it a comfortable airplane for everyone involved. Beats the crud out of a CRJ in every way except top speed when doing a CDO trip.

Oh, I know it -- just giving you guys a hard time. :laugh:

I've never flown them, but started riding on them back in the mid-80's when Presidential Airways had them. Always enjoyed their comfortable ride!

CRJ/ERJ's carry into Aspen????

The -700 does pretty well to and from DEN even with AI on as the fuel load is often below 6K for the short flight. The longer flights into ASE can usually pull off a landing at structural limits but can be weight restricted on departure.

For those in the know, is Republic going to fly the 170 in to ASE or is it rumor only?
