avt007 Posted June 19, 2003 Report Share Posted June 19, 2003 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.

Guest graunch1 Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest graunch1 Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 Airliners B737,27,47 Juraisics all cut from the same cloth. Simple, reliable great comonality of engineering. corporates Citation II - except the flap & aileron cables G-II The Whiz-Bang was a great early "super Jet" if you didn''t mind the smoke Helicopters S76, B212 lots of room and usually well laid out Fart-Carts None Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST27 Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bullet Remington Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
