LOL ain't that the truth.
I remember the first time I sat down at a bar/ restaurant.
It took them 20 Min's to get me a menu ~~

It's called Island time and you will adjust to it in a couple of days.

Dash-8... French plane. Death trap.
Plus I pooped in some of the stabilizer trim actuators at my old job. I might have done some other stuff, but was too drunk to remember.

Was this what you said after your FDB initiation ceremony?

I knew that I felt some sort of kinship with funked. Now I know why.

DH-8 is a great aircraft.

Only accident i ever witnessed was when a service truck hit the side of a Dash 8 300.

They are noisy as hell though.

I thought the Dash 8 was Canadian, and the ATR was French?

The guy that wrote "Unheaded Warning" sure didn't like that government deal. " Fredrick details strong evidence that some experts, in the FAA, knew the plane would be dangerous in icing conditions, but they were overruled by higher officials because the French might have been offended if certification was denied by the FAA.

Not sure, but just in case, I'd not compare the 2, or at least clarify if yer right funkypants.

Wasn't the ATR the deathtrap? Where one wing would ice up, lock an aileron and flip the plane into a noob dive?
