Dash 7-102 at Plymouth Airport

[fs10inator]

I saw a UN Dash 7 landing at Dubai. It's rare in DXB.

@fs10inator I saw it too

[Aviationnation10]

y 4 enfines??

[1993GOS]

@Aviationnation10 i assume to help give it the extra power for its STOL abilities...?

[m1750bt]

It's an Air Southwest Dash 8, one of the local airline's 5 DHC8-300s.

[justin5586]

@m1750bt nope its a 7. the 8's only have two engines.

[m1750bt]

@justin5586 Yes hence the title "Dash 7-102". The aircraft in the foreground is the 7 but behind is a Dash 8-311 of the now defunct Air Southwest.

I wish there were a few of these flying around The skies of the southwest of England still. Wonderful machines.

[tribalheadz]

They are popular in canada and north america on commuter routes between Oregon and British Columbia, Jazz use them and air alaska too I believe theres one or two more carriers out that way

[Jazz8584]

Actually Jazz uses Dash 8's not 7's. Also they are not very popular in Canada. I only know of 3 operators that use Dash 7's

[BaconTV123]

@tribalheadz Jazz ( if its AirCanada Jazz ) uses the Dash-8 100

[baconnect1]

The aircraft was due into PLH a few days before but went tech in Prestwick - needed spares from Canada. It came into PLH for a fuel top-up before flying direct to Faro, Portugal.
