Ha, yeah me and some of the 82nd a/b guys stood around for a few minutes laughing at that, you have to wonder what some people are thinking. Talk about a cluster f*ck though, dash 8 lands and then you guys sit there for half an hour waiting for passes. I was about to jump in the landrover and come and ferry you guys!

Oh, and great photos by the way, well done! :thumbup:

Yeah, I thought it was funny -- but must discourage the more timid customers :unsure:

Now I bet if the DC3 was in its old colours there wouldn't be all these lovely photos of it. I think it was a master stroke repainting it.

How much of the strip did the Dash use?

Well we rolled to the end to our park, but we could have landed in 1/3rd of it and taken off in about half. we used 30 landing and took off on 12.
