Ah, the Dash-8. Many's the time I flew American Eagle's version of that little puddle jumper from Traverse City to Chicago.
It's a step up from the old North Central Electras. They smelled of kerosene, cigarette smoke, and barf. And those were a step up from the Lake Central DC-3's. Now that was flying!

They used to call those old bicycles, the ordinaries with a huge front wheel, "boneshakers." If they'd waited a few decades, they could have saved the name for the DASH-8. It's been over four years since I've flown in one, but I swear my poor skeleton is still recovering. And that flight was only from Dallas to Houston.
