| As the wingman troubleshot a problem on the practice LHA deck, the lead aircraft executed several landings with each pilot taking a turn at the controls. The Dash 3, 296 passengers (two class), and 3,500 nautical mile range, due into service in 2010; the Dash 8, 223 passengers (three class), and 8,500 nautical mile range, with the prototype due to fly in 2007; and finally the Dash 9, with much the same range but capable of carrying 259 passengers in a typical three class layout, the lead aircraft expected to be delivered before the end of 2010. [Both aircraft will attack the target; therefore, JTAC sends adjustments received from JFO immediately after the lead aircraft attacks to direct the wingman onto the next/adjacent target or sends fighters back to the IP for a new 9-line. |
