66 Dart GT HT Whatsitgonnabe?

The world needs more forums like this one. Maybe we'd stop fighting if everyone spoke like you do.

I can imagine that passengers fail to see the benefits from turboprop planes. I spoke to a pilot a few years back. He flew 340:s on a rout that was perhaps 300-400 km. They flew that stretch almost faster than the jets from take-off to landing simply because they reached full speed faster, didn't have to climb as high, could go full speed longer and descend much later.

I've only ever flown in a turboprop once and it wasn't a SAAB. It was a ridiculously short trip, Stuttgart to Frankfurt, I think, but I remember the take-off. The acceleration really is something. And the climb!
