Funny you should mention that because at the Women in Aviation conference when Atlas was talking about their future plans the "dash 8" was discussed and how they were getting several of them later that year, I just couldn't wrap my head around why in the world a company that operates 747 would want a turboprop!!??!!

So yes, it is good to know the difference
