What's with the DSM-DCA flight? That seems so out of place?! I was in DSM a few weeks ago and heard a Mesaba call for clearance to DCA. I thought it was a ferry flight or something, but I guess I was wrong.

Mesaba has been doing DSM to DCA and back route for a while now since September or even earlier. I know I have done that route since back in September 07.

I know we've got a mx base in DSM. That may have something to do with it? Just a guess.

I was just surprised to see so many NWA Airlink planes that RON in DSM. I think I saw at least two or three -900s, but I can't remember, it was too damn early and I tried not to slip on the ice.

I also see Mesaba does MSN-DCA...

We have flown that route for years. Did it in the Avro many times. We also fly the 900 MSN-DCA and back.

DSM has been a maintenance "hub" for Mesaba for a long time. We used to do overnight maintenance on the Avro's there. Now we are building a 12 million dollar hangar that will fit 4 CR9's and that is to be the principal CRJ maintenance facility going forward.

Yeah, you are right. CAs I've flown with said they have flown that route in Avros. I've flown MSN-DCA route as well.
