Your Airplane

[Frank Bama]

I love flying the ATR, It's big and fat. Very roomy and extremely easy to fly. And let's not forget the horn. It sounds like a 1970's Buick. I honk at the pretty ladies as the walk passed the nose.

say what??

you have a horn???
get the h e l l outta here
that's awesome, I can't even count how many times I wished the dash had a horn on it...

The Saab has a horn...it's called the hydraulic pump in manual...not that I've ever used it to attract the attention of a good looking passenger walking in front of the plane...ah, those were the days!

Actually that noise from the hydralic pump is not used for a horn, instead that is the Saabs mating call to other aircraft!!!!! That Saab has some sexual thinking going on!

The J41 was my first Captain gig, hell it was my first airline gig as well. So it occupies a certain part of my heart. However, let's be honest about this bird. The only place a Garrett belongs is in the tail of something larger. Reliable yes, bloody ear drums loud, definetly. Ever fly a J41 in a warm climate? No APU, and no ground air. The air cylce machine has two outlets in the cabin, and one in the cockpit. It does a nice job of dribbling cold air out the cabin door. The air conditioning vent in the cockpit is over the F/O's right shoulder. The Brits theorized that the cold air would blow over your sweaty F/O, wrap around the heated windshields, and deliver a refreshing blast of conditioned sird to the Captain. Also, that vent over the F/O shoulder would fill with condensation, and as soon as BETA was entered on landing, the F/O got a refreshing shower. Note to 41 drivers, do not leave performance data in the F/O cubbyhole. I will disagree with an earlier comment that it is hard to land. I always found the greaser to be the norm, and it wasn't only me.

I like my Caravan, its roomy up front, when its raining, i can climb into the back and off load from inside without getting wet. Keeps me warm in the winter and coolish in the summer, now if only the gear could go up....
