Cactus Crew, I can't believe you could besmirch the great name of the Shorts. Where would the Saab and Dash be if the Shorts had never delivered them

I admit the 360 was pretty slippery, but the 330 could go down and slow down fairly well. The poor Shorts had TON's of drag but it was always there, you couldn't really add any when you needed it. I really enjoyed flying it though.

Used come into Reno and cross the ridge to the West at 11,000 and they'd ask if we could make a straight in to 7. Peg the VSI and down we go. Of course we only had boxes not pax so they didn't complain about the deck angle etc.

I've since moved on to the Dash 8's -100 and -400 and while I don't think I will ever love another plane the way I love the Dash I do miss the Shorts from time to time. Kinda like you miss that UGLY stray dog that used to hang around
