I put EWR as my #1 choice! I have a couple friends there already and i like the northeast much more then any other part of the country. Plus Saab is there so you know it has to be a blast

Speaking of colgan. i was on final for 22 and another guy I don't know what he was in got real slow, so slow the controller stated "this is Newark international Airpot 160 is as slow as you can get here" that made me think about the q400's, are they going to allow the turboprops back in EWR and can they keep the speed up.

PS I am not sure about the Q's performace on climb but I have had guys at Colgan who have never flown the thing tell me it can climb faster than a 737, in which of course I laughed at them

, but still they tell me it can climb............

A Q400 with the optional speed tape mod (ordered by colgan) will indeed out climb an F16... at least that is what Mikey has been saying, so you know it's gotta be true
