Best Regional Bird Award goes to:
The American Crow.


But seriously the Beechcraft 1900D; a true regional aircraft. No flight attendant ...sort of . No LAV. No autopilot. Handles flawlessly. Lots of power. Carries its own weight in ice with no problem. Nice airplane. Hats off to Raytheon/Beechcraft. All the old RJs are just gutted biz jets with no range, weight issues, and ****ty seats. All the new RJs can hardly be called "regional" at all.
