Is JFK the only major airport in the country without schd prop ops?
Its funny you ask that question. I have been wondering that myself since I started traveling down to JFK for spotting. I remember back in the 90s American Eagle used to fly the Shorts 360 from BDL to JFK. Would be cool to see some Dash 8s or Saab 340s on approach to JFK mixed in with the CRJs and ERJs.
I still remember the Ransom Dash 7's as well as the TW express ATR's and Metros
I would love the oportunity to see an ATR up close and in person. I like the look of the ATRs way more than the Dash 8s.Quote:

In 2006 when Delta took over Freedom Airlines, there were a bunch of Delta Dash 8-100s at Kennedy, based out of Terminal 2.
However, there is a scheduled airline that operates a B1900 into Kennedy overnight, a Skylink Express B1900 from CYHM.

I recall DL having Dash8's and I think 1900's for a short while out of JFK a couple of years ago. I remember seeing the Dash8 in DL colors--it was quite interesting.
The CO Connection flights were operated with Dash8-Q200's...and I believe they stopped when CO pulled out of JFK altogether.
I have been speaking to my friend who is high up at CO (now UA) about starting up service from ISP-CLE on the Q400--but no luck yet.
I remember on one of my JFK trips seeing the DL Dash-8's at JFK - I wanted the control tower to tell the B777 behind it - caution prop-wash from landing Dash-8......
The place used to be lousy with Dash-8s...these were all taken in 2007 and 2008.Quote:

The rudder deflection of the C17 is very interesting
