Well, actually there isn't a such thing as the "baby jet" anymore. That was what eventually became the Falcon 20.

Do you mean the 2000DX and 2000EX?
Edit: of the 10/100?

Rago · Post by **Rago** » 25 May 2006, 20:50

I meant the 10 series

"Sub-types" :
>>> 10MER : military version with attach-points under the wings
>>> 100 : same as the 10 only with one extra window at the right handside of the plane (at the opposite of the door)

Go for it fokker!

Ok, Rago.

What aircraft is known as the "Quad Otter", and how many are there built of that kind?

nwa757 · Post by **nwa757** » 26 May 2006, 00:20

I believe the 'Quad Otter' was the DeHavilland Canada Dash 7 (DHC-7). There were 111 of those built.

What was the original name for Midwest Airlines (of the US) and what year did that company start flying?

Andries · Post by **Andries** » 27 May 2006, 00:21

Midwest Airlines began life in 1948, when Kimberly-Clark Corporation began providing air transportation for company executives and engineers between the company's Appleton headquarters and their mills.

In 1969, K-C Aviation was born from this, and was dedicated to the maintenance of corporate aircraft. After the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, Kimberly-Clark and K-C Aviation decided to form a regular scheduled passenger airline, and out of that initiative, Midwest Express was started in 1984.

What a simple Google search of "history Midwest Airlines" can tell you ... amazing !
