Hilton Head.

Hilton Head is one of those funky airports that the Airline Airport code
doesn't match the actual airport code. (HXD)

Runway 3/21

Dimensions: 4300 x 100 ft. / 1311 x 30 mSurface: asphalt/EWeight bearing capacity: Single wheel: 12000 lbsDouble wheel: 38000 lbs

Did I miss something when I read this on AirNav? Wouldn't that preclude the ATR from landing there?

Hilton Head.

Maybe you mean BQK....ATRs used to go there once in a blue moon. Don't really see the need tho.

Does anybody know what is going to happen to these ATR's after ASA is done with them? I heard that FedEx may be looking for more ATRs, I wonder if they will buy any.

Darn! Two-by-two leather seating. Imagine that!

You're right O.B., they should have highlighted the fact that in addition to the leather seats, most people can walk fully up-right down the aisle! (even if they won't get running water in the lav).

Hmmm seems to me that Delta has a replacement for the ATR lined up. Something that can operate from a 4300ft runway. Would they really open a new destination that an RJ can't fly into less than a year before the ATR's are retired?
