Retro Piedmont Dash-8 Livery

[CFIscare]

I must admit, it looks bad ass.

 

[mshunter]

I'd hit it.

 

[Skåning]

It does irk me that it says "American Eagle" on it

 

[Inverted]

Wow they actually wasted the money painting a Dash 8...

Not gonna lie, looks sexy as hell.

 

[Richman]

I was going to say if it was a "HA" bird, all they'd have to do is strip a couple of layers of paint off.

That's said, it's s great scheme.

Oh, one more thing. Take notice #Delta. People like these retro paint schemes. When a bird comes up for respray, it doesn't cost any more to paint it one way or the other.

Damn, I was in SBY yesterday and missed this somehow. Looks good!

I flew that particular plane at ALG. It's older than dirt!

Ummm, does that make you older than dirt?

 

[lostplanetairman]

Everyone knows I am, indeed!

I thought Piedmont (the real one) only had Shorts.

I thought Piedmont (the real one) only had Shorts.

Henson (the real Piedmont's version of... Piedmont) had the Dashes. I thiiiiiink they operated the Shorts too but I'm not sure if that was another carrier.

 

[lostplanetairman]

We had Shorts at ALG until 1994.

 

[Cessnaflyer]

I miss these planes.

 

[Richman]

Henson had, at one time or another, BE-99s, Shorts 330s, Dash 7s and Dash 8s.

Mebby they should put a picture of Dick on the tail a la Alaska. That'd be a hoot.

That second pic is kind of strange, the way the mains are cut out of the photo. It's like the back end is floating in the air. It messes with my head.

 

[B200 Hawk]

So the regionals are here to stay!!!

Love seeing the retro Henson livery. Not thrilled with the American Eagle, but it's still cool. Henson and Piedmont were a main staple growing up and sparked my aviation last. I remember Henson Dash
-8 and Dash-7s. Jetstream(PSA) was operating J-31s and CCAir(Mesa) was operating the Beech 99, Shorts 330, and Shorts 360.

Yeah, they screwed up the Reno Air tribute with the "American" titles. They're even in the wrong spot.

I sort of feel like if you're going to do a retro tribute, you have to go all the way.

 

[Richman]

The Dash-7 was a pretty neat bird. It could land and hold short in a couple configurations legally, and as a result, was granted unlimited ops (rather that limited by slots).

Fun to watch.
