These were so much more comfortable to fly in than the CRJs have replaced most of them.

i like the old US Airways colors, it just looks better on some planes

[bladeere14]

this is most definitely a -300, the -100 is much smaller than this

[jfsa380]

@bladeere14 absolutely a -100, as the cabin barely passes the rear of the engine nacelle. on the -300, the cabin is longer.

[War292004]

@jfsa380 No, it really is a -300. Pause at 0:53 and look at the third-to-last window from the left. See the little bump below the window? That's the ditching dam that all the -300's have. Also note the rear galley door back there as well.

[jfsa380]

@War292004 well i'll be danged, so it is, looked up registration and comes back as DHC-8-311. why does Wells Fargo own the plane and how many do they own?

[Namerifrats]

Possibly, I don't really know enough about them to know. I checked the tail number and listed the model it came back as.

[8931alex]

Hate to correct you but this is actually a Dash 8-300

[ecuber11]

@8931alex No its not, thats a dash 8-100

[8931alex]

@ecuber11 The Dash 8 -100 is several rows shorter than this aircraft, which is a -300. I fly the 757 for US Airways , and I am based at KCLT , so I think I know the difference between a -100, and a -300

[ecuber11]

@8931alex you may be right, but maybe its the video or something, it looks alot smaller

[8931alex]

@ecuber11 The windows on the -100 are spaced differently than on the -300, that and the length are the easiest way to tell the difference

[ecuber11]

@8931alex yeah, i can usually tell the difference between a 100 and 300, but this video makes it look like a 100

[8931alex]

@ecuber11 Did you not capture the video yourself ?

[ecuber11]

@8931alex its not my video, lol

[8931alex]

@ecuber11 yeah it looks shorter from the video , but if you had done the video you could tell the difference.

[ecuber11]

@8931alex yeah, if i see a 300 in real life ill know it and same with the 100, lol but anyway thanks for clearing it up
