What's a Dash-3

[Deleted member 29185]

I'm doing a CNS-HTI on a Dash-3..........I feel a bit silly, but what's a Dash-3?

Presume it's a Dash8-300

eg ... Onboard Seat Map for the Dash 8

Dash 3 or a DH3? DH3 is a Dash-8 series 300.

Falcon 50-3 - your own private jet maybe?

I don't know. I asked the QF lady what plane and she replied a Dash 3. I asked if that was a Dash 8 (thinking Dash 8-300) but she replied no it's a Dash 3..........

I concur with Mal, but it could be a DHC-3 Otter

QF2503 is a "De Havilland DHC-8 Series 300"

QF staffer needs to learn a bit more about plane types

They do have a DC3 in CNS.......

They do have a DC3 in CNS.......

Hmm, I assume that is used for fire training? Or is it used for freight / some other usage?

They run the engines up once in a while, and while she used to be VH-SPY, she actually carries a N rego,N65388.

Now that would be a hoot! The last DC3 I was on, was spot on about 30 years ago

Definitely not used by us for fire training. The last DC3 we used for training was at Bankstown in the late 1980's. It was the one with Norman Gunston on the tail and got fully incinerated in 1 exercise . I believe the one in CNS is still used for freight movements although very rarely these days.

I'd call it a "flying wheelie bin"..............

Me?.....or the plane?

Assuming you mean the DC3, I'd say it's a flying wheelie bin with real aviation history!

Sorry but that is not a DHC-3, its got a turboprop for a start, it might have started as a DHC-3, and yes QF did have them in TAA guise (also used by the RAAF)

From what I recall, some DHC-3's were re-engined with turbo-props.
