That is going to be interesting... Will see what they will do with it... One reason they can work with this one is because so many airlines are dumping them due to Wing Spar Corrosion Issues... Surprised they chose that plane as the Test Bed.. A Dash-8 300 High time would have been a much better choice... I do not hold much confidence in this plan, but it will be interesting to watch.
...you know that a dash-8 and a Q400 are the same thing, right?
And so since you know nothing about why they did it to suggest they should have done something esle why post your thoughts? if they wanted to donate and put some funds also into it that makes it a win win for both sides. Kind of dumb to suggest they should use another type of AC to do so.
Do you even read what you write on here before you click post? None of your comments make any sense.
The future may be hydrogen…or maybe something else. But at least trey are not trying to use heavy batteries.
Alaska Airlines has always been at the forefront in development of new aviation technology providing dramatic improvements in safety, access, and efficiency to the industry. Working with Flight Dynamics to bring CAT IIIA procedures to the B-727. First to develop GPS technology with with RNP/RNAV first in Juneau, AK (PAJN). If it’s certified in Juneau it will work anywhere).
