At Shuttle America our 170's are all RW
the 175's are all JQ
There are two exceptions.
N979RP is a blue tail a/c that used to be on the Chautaqua certificate
N958WH is a 175 that Bedford decided to not name in sequence ( we have 201JQ, 202JQ, 203JQ, 204JQ, 206JQ...etc but no 205JQ...the a/c that would have been 205 was instead numbered 958WH as a 50th birthday present for Bedfords henchman Wayne Heller. (9=Sept 58= 1958 WH= Wayne Heller who's birthday happens to be Sept 1958.) Nothing like being too cheap to buy your buddy a 50th birthday present and instead "naming a plane after him".
