Flying the Alaska Dash 8 Across Washington State

  • After the Aha! inaugural, which now turned out to be my one and only flight on the airline, I had to go back to the Bay Area. That took me through Seattle on Alaska Airlines, the first flight aboard their Dash 8 Q400 in the Oregon State Beavers livery across the state of Washington. Due to a storm on the west coast at the time, delays were common up and down the coast, especially up in the Pacific Northwest...so of course we had to participate in that as well. Was a good flight though and if this turns out to be my last Alaska Horizon Dash 8 flight before they retire the planes, then I'm overall very happy I got to fly it one more time. Hope you enjoy!

    I absolutely love when you do videos of smaller more regional size airports! I would love to see you visit cities like Billings, Albuquerque, Eugene, Little Rock, etc.

    I'll be honest I miss flying the Dash 8. My dad hates it but I have loved it my whole life; I really like seeing the wheels go up after takeoff and come down before landing.

    I like the DH8 from a distance, as long as I'm not flying in it. It's a beautiful aircraft to watch, but the noise is unbearable for me, even for a short flight. I'd rather drive myself from Pasco to Seattle than fly a DH8 and feel like I'm sitting next to a lawnmower.

    At least the airbus planes are going to other carriers and not being scrapped. I know allegiant is grabbing a bunch of them from alaska. I also wonder if they will keep alaska's mood lighting on their ex virgin/alaska planes.

    Was hoping you were on my GEG-SEATAC Alaska flight from hell last week that had such bad crosswind turbulence that people were crying and screaming and trying not to throw up after the failed landing. The pilot had to do a go around and for a 2nd attempt, afterwards the flight attendance did her arrival speech while crying. But I’m glad you were on a nicer flight!

Flying the Dash 8 makes you appreciate the newer planes so much more!!! Happy New Year Chris!! Hope you are not flying Southwest this week!!!
