Have to go to my niece's weddding in Conrad Montana come May. Flying into Great Falls in......a.....PROP!! Gadzooks, haven't flown on a prop jobbie since 1963 when me and my brother and mom flew from Germany to New York. Not only was my brother sick most of flight but I raised a ruckus when I asked mom, loud enough to be heard by LOTS of people, "Why was the engine on fire??". That woke folks up real quick, just the normal prop stuff seen at nightime:mrgreen:

Might be an interesting flight...cough, cough...

    Go to the bathroom before you get on it since the odds are it will not have a bathroom. Once, I flew from CA to Dulles in a jet. Fine. At Dulles I had to connect to a prop puddle-jumper to Richmond VA. There was a bar at the gate, and I got to talking and drinking with some Army guys, and drank way to much beer. As soon as I got on the plane and they closed the door I had to take a leak. That was the worst flight I ever had. It was torture.

    If it is one of the Argentine Models like the ones used by Skywest or Delta they are not that bad. Just don't plan on having any carry on baggage bigger than a laptop. They usually just tag it and put it in the cargo hold. Great Falls is my home town. Hope the snow will be melted for you in May!

    I saw one at garage sale last weekend, $4k.:cheesygrin:
    Didn't have the cash on me, and didn't feel like running to the bank so I let it go.:cheesygrin:

    You will be fine.
    Had a bad experience to Dallas once on a prop plane, the Captain nailed it, and it was the most power I have ever experienced.
    They have TONS of power.
    Should not be a problem.
    You'll be fine!
