Way back in the day everybody used 33R. 1900's, Metros, Dash's (-7 and -8) I think even the Shorts. Then the airplanes got to big and to fast and managements got too scared. Then it was only the 1900 and the Dash. I flew the Beech and my brother flew the Dash. Both of us liked that KBOS landing. Looks like the Dash 8 is the last man standing. I used to get excited when they were using the 33's. It livened up the 4 landings in KBOS for the day. It wasn't as bad as a 727 at KMDW. A few really hot or snowy days there took a few years off my life! I wouldn't change either experience though. It gave me great memories and stories.
