The Dart song will stay forever in my minds, remembering the old F-27 of the French Postal air service taking-off in the morning at Brest airport and also the old Breguet 1050 'Alizé' who got a screeching particular sound during take-off as they use water-injection on their Dart.
Kick off those PT-6 and make the Dart and Tyne runing again !

I used to ride on these F27s back in the day on Aloha Airlines. The engines did scream but if you are a passenger, what a view from the oval windows and the high wing configuration. Also, I used to like watching the landing gear retract and drop down.

My first ever flight as a kid was to the Isle of Man on a BIA Dart Herald and we lived on the approach path to Leeds-Bradford airport which had almost constant Viscount traffic. Sound will stay with me forever.

I love the sound of a Rolls Royce Dart. Even if they're in a F27 or a Viscount

I used to watch them start the engines at SFO, Pacific Air flew these up and down the coast. It was intoxicating to hear the engines scream before the plane started to taxi--everyone covered their ears.
