Q400 kenya

Rumour on this side of the pond has DAC/CMC getting a Dash8Q400 for use with the UNHAS.

No idea if it is true or not.

Another local company has already sent its pilots for Q-400 training and should be ferrying them soon from toronto once they are done with the course and these guys have no problem buying and parking their planes...

blue bird aviation

I don't know if this site allows web links, so search jetphotos.net for "5Y-VVX" for a fresh picture of a Q400 in new colors

I really am curios why are you comparing 2 different aircraft? it's not going to be fair,
The Q400 is a turbo prop and a CRJ100 is a jet... How will the CRJ do? not good... Here's an idea, why don't you guys compare a Q400 against another turbo prop, like the ATR72

Have they really solved the main landing gear issue? or did they just made a tempo fix?

"mate iam not your type"
Hey, it's okay to be gay yanno (well, except here in Kenya of course)

I'm of the female persuasion, no relation to any type of weasel last time I checked. FYI: it's always best not to jump to conclusions about one's fellow posters on a forum . You can make yourself look awfully silly.
