United Express Dash-8 Landing @ Aspen KASE

Landing in Aspen, CO on 2/22/08. Taken from Mesa's N446YV on flight 7097 (KDEN-KASE). Nice flight, nice quick water service, plus the Dash is always a nice treat.

Love it! That type of flight always seems like a nice one. I am yet to fly on a prop aircraft, but I saw a lot of those dash's when I went on my trip to colorado. Whats the noise level like? 5/5

[N734NJ]

The noise isn't too bad at all. I kind of like the slower pace because although the CR7 is nice and quick the DH8 give you more time for sightseeing and a quick (tiny) bottle of water.

Cool. I like how you can see the gear retraction right in front of you (if youre in the right seat) I have never flown on a propeller aircraft, except for a scenic tour of the grand canyon (in a cessna 208) when i was like 5 . . . maybe.

[N734NJ]

Indeed. In the Q200 just about every seat is the right seat, lol IIRC I was in seat 5A. Luckily as I was nonreving it was a light flight, so light that they had to ask people to sit in back. I kinda mess the DASH

[N734NJ]

The DASH is indeed still in service today with UAX. IT was kind of a laid-back flight, but mostly the move was because of weight and balance. The emptiest I've ever been on a flight was a UAX/OO Aspen-Chicago flight with about 5 ppl on it. 4 in First (me included, lol) and 1 in back.

[snowboi812]

No..Thanks Man!! i normally fly into EGE on 757-200's operated by NWA...so i know what to expect....just wanted to no how it was flyin in on the dash 8

[kylewagman]

i agree!

[N734NJ]

More like 37. But I'm not nitpicking, lol. That is one cold, crisp and refreshing bottle of water they give out, however. The DASH flights are generally very fun.

the DEN-EGE flight is opperated on a Mesa's Dash 8-200. It is a short flight, less then 1 hour. On my flight, only a small bottle of water is served. The plane has like 45 seats and 1 restroom. When you get to EGE, ground service is done by SkyWest. you enter and exit the plane down the aircraft stairs, no jetbridge. Anything else you would like to know?

[snowboi812]

Can you give me some more details on that flight?...im flyin into EGE on that exact same flight in Febuary...Thanks

[kylewagman]

I flew on a dash, operated by MESA from, DEN-EGE. It was a nice flight giving me great views of the snow-covered mountians.  I really want to fly into ASE someday!
