Republic Q400 maneuver at DCA
 

From a former q400 pilot the maneuver that you guys did in dca today was nothing but beautiful. I was very impressed and made me miss take the big bird out and putting her through her paces. Very impressed.

??????????????????????

Coolbeans must have gotten into the liquor kit.

Hey coolbeans

Tail strike?

Don't be nice on here. Its of putting. ;)

While we're at it:

Man, it was soooooo coolio to see GoJet guys put the CRJ-700 through its paces out at LGA. I was very impressed to see them fly that big bird and put it through its paces.

Just sayin'.

Hmmm my English is not so good looking today :-). I am giving guys credit where credit Is do the guys did a different version of the river visual to 19 in dc and I was impressed. Sorry that in stead of being a dick I decided to reach out and say good job sorry.

Man the industry is chippy lately, did I miss something?

Cool story bra

This one time at band camp....

Yea that sounds epic!, did they get in on the runway?

Just past the touchdown zone and on the right half of the runway.

Apparently we can just tells stories with no details so I'm going with this one!

No one had any idea what you were trying to say... Proof read.

Well.... I guess I've lost the ability to be so impressed with an approach that is done all the time, that I would take the time out to make a post about it. Must have been epic /shrug.

I'm guessing they were in a -4G inverted dive with a MiG 28 while they flew the approach.

Keeping up foreign relations?

Did they not land in a crab?

It's nice when departing 15 and they ask for a really tight right turn so they can launch a jet off 19 right behind you. I think the Tower guys get a kick out of watching us buzz them. Usually followed by "OUTSTANDING!" contact departure.

I would venture to guess that he is referring to a right turn out off runway 1. The dashes do it all the time and the Jets will do it if they are super light. I've done it 10 or 12 times over 7 years when we would go to PHL. Our company has come out and said they don't want us doing it since our single engine performance is based on a left turn up the river. Evidently they could pay aerodata a boatload of cash to get data but don't want to. Go figure.

What is the "different'" version of the river visual?

They come up the river from the other side and do a left turn to final. It is very impressive to watch.

Oh, yea, 19 approaching from the east, it's a *very* tight turn to final because you have to stay clear of the prohibited areas. fun stuff.

I remember my first beer.

do, doo, due

So important to get the spelling correct...

The "other" River visual is the Mount Vernon Visual...

Good for you...

I think he is referring to the anacostia river visual approach...
