...this thread is prompting more types to surface - and some happy memories.
Jetstream (thanks RI, thorn in the side of Air Nelson).
ATR-72
F-27 (nice view from under that high wing)
Q-400 - likewise.
Bandierante.
Beach 1900D.- the forehead.
And who could forget the flying pencil - The Metroliner.
Even after I'd got my PPL being SLF in that thing used to scare the **** out of me.
Not enough wing - and it just seemed too fast for itself - an accident waiting to happen.
Maybe it was the tiny cabin.
Even as SLF it was good on the smaller types to be able to lean out into the aisle and see parts of the instrument panel between the pilots.
And watch through the windshield as many a sky-god overshot the extended centreline when turning from base onto finals, particularly on a really windy day at WLG.
Apologies for annoyance caused - willy now back in trousers.
