I flew the DASH 8-100 for Agony (Allegheny) for 2000 hrs worth and would rate it as one of the better airplanes I've flown. The slow Vref speed, short stopping distance, spacious cockpit, in the day its' advanced avionics (sorry to date myself), and the ability to slow down quickly by pushing the props up were some of its' finer qualities.

The Expressway to 31 and the visual approach to 13 (LGA) were two of my favorite approaches closely rivaled by the Canarsie at JFK and down the River at DCA.

Glad to see the DASH is still flying.
