Hey everyone, it’s been a while, but I finally managed to get episode 8 of FlightReport done.
And of course, I will be using the recently released canadian twinprop plane, the Bombardier Dash 8 Q400.
I hope you all enjoy this one, was by far the most laborious but as well best episode in my opinion. Have fun!
Today, we will make a short regional flight in the northwest of the United States, from the birthplace of Boeing, Seattle, from Seattle Tacoma Intl (KSEA / SEA) to Portland (PDX). The route we will fly today belongs to flight number AS2329 and will be flown with a Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 turboprop operated by HorizonAir (Alaska Airlines), registration N447QX.
The plane is being prepared for its flight.
It’s early morning here in Seattle, very cloudy with a bit of wind.
The flight plan for our flight:
Around 140nm and 30 minutes flight time.
Pushback in progress…
Taxiing to runway 34R. This is the first of many times you’ll be treated to this wonderful engine-view.
Holding short of 34R, waiting for takeoff clearance…
