Flown on them myself, nice planes with alot of kick. However since SAS revealed them gear failures the public isn't kind to them.

There cool planes, I seen many of them. Never been on one though, I would rather fly jet engined planes as well =]

They're alright. I prefer Jets, as Matt said.

Yeah, I heard about that a couple of weeks ago.

I've been on one, but it was a while ago and I was pretty young, so I can't remember what it was like, really. (except very turbulent, but I can't blame that on the plane!)

I had fun on my Dash 8 flight, due to the Q400's large wingspang they take gusts very seriously, when we where landing we did a classic one wheel Dash 8 landing, great fun, nice and sideways! Like so:

Lol thats the good thing about Dash-8's. The engines are high above gl, so one wheel landings are okay.
