The retirement of the final Dash marks the end of turboprop operations at Austrian Airlines. (simpleflying.com) More...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
What about the Twin Otter
What a pitty. Everyone is retiring them. I may never be able to get on one. :( THEY ARE ONE OF MY FAVS!!!
Here in Canada we still use Dash 8s especially in the far north. Good plane for crappy runways and bad weather.
The Dash 8's that served Ithaca, NY were painted in United livery however, the engine intake covers (plugs) said "Tyrolean".
Don't like any plane with a wingspan less than length
The Dash-8-100, -200, and -300 series all had wingspans greater than their fuselage length.
I never liked the -400, but the -100, -200, & -300 were very nice planes... Sometimes hard to work on as in tight spaces, but it was reliable and did a good job.
