Turboprop nostalgia

[capt. megadeth]

YES!!! LONG LIVE THE GOOD OLE TURBOPROP! I miss flying the Saab!

Hasta La Vista Regional Junk... Something about beta that just does it for me! If a girl could do that in the bedroom she would be perfect, I'd probably just about hand over my wallet!

• Continental is reviewing proposals from contract regional carriers to operate 50-seat turboprop flights out of Houston in the spring. More than half the new turboprop flights in Houston and Cleveland are for cities from 120 to 140 miles away. Flight times range up to 75 minutes, the Back analysis shows. One example: New service between Houston and Del Rio, Texas.

Colgan anybody??

Colgan anybody??

Horizon Bid for the work but word is they were underbid by another. Final word should be out shortly.

I wonder how much trouble it would be for Saab to spool the 2000 line back up again? That plane was the shiznit!

The Q400 looks pretty cool, too. I'd fly one!

I miss my Dornier, 328 Turbo-Prop Rulz!

 

[Dragonbravo]

Amen Smoking! I think they should use the same program on the CRJ that they did on the Starship, cut them all up! What a pathetic excuse for an airplane. Long live the DORK!!

Is it true the Dash400 is still limited to FL250? Is this for O2?

I'll bid back to turboprop. Most fun you can have with your clothes on. You know a turboprop pilot because they sound like Lil Jon in the Chappelle skit... WHAT? WHHAAAAT? OKAY!

Chicks dig beta. I miss the Saab too!
