The Blue Goose used to fly over lake Michigan years ago. They used a turbo prop - dual engine rattle box that shook like a bucket full of loose rivets when taking off. By the way in the middle of lake Mich, you can't see either side - those little 'puddle jumpers' are exciting for

You are most correct, my friend. Those 12 passengers turbo props were so fun to ride thru the clouds rather than over them, lol. The co-pilot as packed your luggage in the back of the plane too. You have to be careful when going down the small aisle so that you didn't trip over the

Great ideas. are just that. Great ideas. I can't begin to see how anyone can stay in business using small prop'd planes, with 2-3 person crews, to fly that much weight from point A to B and stay in business. Granted, cutting corners may save some time and money, but at who's

Aw W, don't be so negative! I'd rather be slightly inconvenienced and be able to stay in my chair while flying than do what the major airlines require of us quads. I've flown across this country 3 times and each time the experience was worse than the one before. I vowed I would never fly again

When I went on my trip in November I flew from smaller airports. Ground transportation was all pre-arranged before travel. I hope they are able to succeed. I already contacted them about using them for a trip. They are not using small prop'd planes, they use turbo prop (jet) engine. Did you

My concerns are the human body and those that own them. I once had a friend who was left on a major plane for 2 hours, in the dark as he was forgotten. He earned a free flight back when the airline discovered their MISTAKE. Again, it pays to plan and have everything in writing before

That is why I always enjoy your postings, John. You are the real deal. Jets are designed to carry a load of weight. Mostly luggage and shipping containers. That's where the real money is. As an after thought came passenger service was considered. But in doing so the air industry

It's about time. I'd be willing to try this. I've always thought it was against ADA wishes for us to have to get out of our chairs to fly. If the buses tried to do that to us, they'd get sued. I wonder what the prices would be like. In the picture, did they just pick the whole chair up?
