- New aircraft aren’t the only thing to see at the NBAA Business Aviation Convention. This Dornier 328 was on display at the show. The aircraft has flown to destinations around the world and is configured for 12-passenger luxury travel.

I piloted the Dornier Jet for 2 years and really loved the airplane, it was a blast to fly!
I used to fly that very plane. It was a hell of a ride.
N430FJ! Hello, old friend! I remember taking delivery of this aircraft at AC Jet when it went into service for Delta Connection in 2002. I can still remember that new plane smell. Short of a few 1VE panels, HX Fans, and “ITT Exceedance Zone B’s”on hot days this was a wonderful aircraft to work on. I made a small fortune in overtime off that PW306B. So glad to see her so pretty now!
In my humble little opinion the Dornier is the prettiest jet ever made.
I love the high wing design, excellent visibility!
I can't recall seeing any other aircraft which has both turboprop and jet options. Is the Dornier 328 unique?
The Gloster Meteor was a jet and there was a turboprop version of it. It was actually the worlds first turboprop airplane.
Excellent Report, and explanation of the Captain ... Thanks for Post!
Wing-rockin' nice!
“I don’t know what to do w my hands...”
Scott Major beat me to this line
I supported the South American Dornier 328 fleet. Satena and Club VIP.
Nice! I wish I had flown on one of these planes when they were still used by commercial airlines.
They are, BA/SunAir still use them going into Scandinavia.
I flew that exact airplane for AC! Fun plane!
Is it possible to fly one distance from Cairo to New York without stopping the models from the Dornier?
@Phil Lossiffer Same.
Damn
Why has it got the Xpressair livery on it?
Hard to get parts for and very little support in the US.
Huh? By that logic it's hard to get parts and support for airbus planes in the US?
Or the Pilatus? Or anything else that is not built by a US company?
Regarding the 328(Jet); SNC is technically the service and parts provider for the 328 outside of Europle, and SNC is the Sierra Nevada Corp is based in California US. The 328 service/parts company is partly/fully owned by SNC US and SNC UK.
No Mark I am not following your logic on this. ITs from operational experience that says parts as well as service here in the states is hard to come by for the Dornier 328. Its been out of production for 18 years now some aircraft as they age become harder to support regardless of who built them. Its not like cars where thousands upon thousands are built. Only 217 Dornier's where ever built and that includes props. I personally work on one of 6 aircraft ever built with the long range tanks and at the time it was the only one in the sates.
Wow, that’s probably the cheapest looking yoke I’ve ever seen. The yoke in the piper I fly looks nicer than that.
Painful
Way to sell it there buddy. "It's really slow" and "it's pretty much, almost a stall aircraft". Wait what? Well that really makes me want to fly on it. I mean who wouldn't want to fly on something that the captain says is basically going to fall out of the sky at any moment?
@@patukka79 STOL, not stall. Good job calling out the first post with your aviation expertise in hand.
@Justin Krezelak, he meant STOL, which stands for short takeoff and landing. This aircraft does not need much runway like other biz jets to operate, so it can even get into much smaller airports.
It max speed is M.66, so usual you would cruise around M.64, So it is slow for a jet aircraft in cruise.
But as the captain pointed out, it can land on short runways.
Which makes it perfect for use in smaller regional airports.
I used to fly the J328 also for a couple of year.
