Thanks for the info DashPilot, I wonder why so many carriers use Dash 8 in the Caribbean though if they hate summer/hot? Liat, Caribbean Sun (which just went away) and Caribbean Star are all Dash 8 based carriers. I like the planes, perfect size in my book.

I imagine you are based in Salisbury? I graduated from SSU in 99 and worked for Perdue for a while. I met my wife there and Mr. Henson (who started what is now the USX version of Piedmont called Henson aviation) gave her a scholarship right before he passed. I still love that town!
