Nice pictures mate. Didn't realise they opened that back flap at the tail (someone said what it was somewhere else, but my memory isn't always the best with these sorts of things) of the 146 when they were coming in to land.

Speedbrake.....

146's engines dont have the ability to reverse thrust with is common on jet types of aircraft. The 'speed brakes' create a drag that effictive 'slows' down the aircraft and gives them an excellent STOL capacity whereas the Fokker F100's don't - this is why you will see the 146's hanging around our shores for a while longer!

Interesting to note, Maroomba's only two Dash 8-100's [ leased from Skytrans ] arrived within 3minutes of each other.

These guys have some of the oldest Dash 8-100's in active service

Sorry guys still going.....





Always wanted to see these in action [and take pictures] yesterday was my lucky day

Great photos WF - where you there all day or just a quick visit?

VH-JJP ex Ansett being mothballed ...... first aircraft I flew in when I came to Australia... Remember fond memories of sitting in the jumpseat



Sitting in the dying sun for the day

Forgot one

If you are talking about the duct tape colour around the horizontal stabiliser at the top of the T tail that is normal

The BAe 146 and F100 both have "Air Brakes" as they are called.
Where about's does that 717 have the patch job?
