CRJs at Dallas isn’t as common as it used to be.

N916PQ is operated by SkyWest Airlines for Delta Connection. The CRJ900 is a staple of American regional aviation.

For me, working the ramp was neither boring nor mundane. I watched every arrival and departure with the same awe and wonder I felt when I was but a wee spotter.

The Air Canada Express CRJ900 is a frequent sight in Canadian and cross-border regional operations. Notable for efficient operation on routes too small for mainline jets.
