We went under a Bonanza at 7,500ft, passed him like he was standing still.
Never got to fly the 200, but I would have loved to flown it down the Oregon coast to North Bend from Portland.

Anyone else think it is kind of strange that once the TA was announced that all of the EXCO memebrs and negotiating committee are know where to be seen? A couple sources say that there should be a big announcement this week.
There are some livid people over on the teamsters board.

Vmo for the 300 is only 242 from 0-17,000....232 at 20,000 and 214 at 25,000. It would be nice to go faster but I just remember I get paid by the hour.
That was a question last month on my test.

For you Horizon guys who flew both the -200 and -400, does the -400 land any smoother than the -200? It's been my experience that the -300 seems to land smoother for me over the -100. They both take some work though!
