Planes I''ve liked to work on.......

I know, but it''s an obvious subject for a new post, isn''t it?

Dash 8- fairly maintenance friendly, and decent manuals, good WDM.

Twin Otter- dead reliable, simple, same decent manuals.

F28- lots of test equipment capability for t/s, reasonable access, not too complicated.

Ooooops forgot one more category

Military

 

CF 104 the ultimate lean mean flying machine. It was also well designed from a maintainer''s point of view. Lower than a snake''s belly at the speed of heat.

Check out a couple of photos I hjust uploaded

The Dornier 328Jet is a beauty, course its fairly new so like most modern A/C its maintenance friendly. I recall going into the first 737/200 cockpit and the similarity to a DC3 came to mind.

Well, I''d have to go with the 737-200 AND the DC-3! As well as the twotter. There''s a reason why those two machines are still flying today!

 

I like the Rice Rockets, too! Built like a Tank!

 

Helicopters - the S61 and the HU 500!

 

Military - The DC-3 , CF 104 and the CF18
