The above picture is of a DeHavilland DHC 8 (Dash 8) twin turbo-prop (engine) airplane. One of my sons is a pilot for a regional (commuter) airline and this is the type of airplane he presently flies. This airplane holds 37 passengers and one of its features is that it doesn't require as long runways for take offs and landings as similar size twin jet (engine) airplanes. It has excellent sound proofing in the cabin, and comfortable seats.
My son has had many interesting experiences as a commercial airline pilot, some of which he has allowed me to post. I plan to do that in the future.
