A Blast from the Past: This was my first flight inside a small propeller passenger plane… A Beech 1900D which I thought from the out side was an ugly little thing…. but…. after flying it I ended up loving it!! It was roomy (I could stand up straight)… fast (especially taxiing & on take off), had huge windows and it gave me the real thrill of flying…so now it’s my favorite small plane 
circa 1999.
*Airplanes 101* (See Airplanes 101 Set)
Name: Beech 1900D
Manufacturer: Beech (USA)
Main Role: small capacity, short range regional propeller aircraft
Basic design: twin engined bottom fuselage mounted, single aisle narrow-body propeller airplane.
Photo: A old photo of the inside of C-GORF Ontario Express’ BEH1900D showing the rounded high ceiling and large windows.. This is a rugged popular small capacity regional plane used widely on very short hops out of major airports around the world. It’s noisy, small, actually pleasant inside, having these very large passenger windows and barrels down the runway like a bat out of hell.. you get a real sense of "flying" when you take one of these planes.

A Blast from the Past: Built in 1977 and seen here landing in Montreal sometime around the turn of the century.. a 747 classic.. I actually liked the smaller hump a lot.

*Airplanes 101* (See Airplanes 101 Set)
Name: Boeing 747-200,
Manufacturer: Boeing (USA) .
Main Role: large capacity long range mainline jetliner
Basic design: Four engines double aisle wide body jet. Knows as a "Jumbo Jet"
Capacity: Roughly 395-500 passengers
Range: 9000km -12700km
First delivery date: 1986
Production run: 1986-1991
Easily confused for: ..nothing. It’s unique to itself but these two models can be easily confused for the 747-300 and 747-400.
Main identifying points: Look for the the "hump" or second floor at the front of the plane that houses the cockpit and upper deck cabin f the aircraft. Also the fact there are passenger seats more forward than the cockpit. No other jetliner has these features. Everything else is secondary: A very large and massive tail, 4 very large wing mounted engines. The 747-100 and 747-200 have backwards facing antennae located at the wingtips (seen best from under the plane on the ground or while it’s in flight), 4 sets of main undercarriage landing gear. Early models of the -100 only had 3 second floor windows on each side of the upper deck. Later models have a regular set of closely positioned windows instead. Both versions has a standard short length upper deck compared to the 747-400 whose deck was lengthened significantly.
Examples of Main Operators: Today the 747-100/200 is pretty much out of service with major airlines. They may be cargo carriers still flying it. JAL, ANA and I believe Northwest still fly the occasional 747-200. The main operators of it’s day were Pan Am, TWA, Lufthansa, BOAC, British Airways, Air France, Air Canada, JAL, Qantas, Varig, United, Continental, Air India, Sabena, Swissair, SAS, Alitalia, Olympic among many.
