Planes I''ve liked to work on.......

I know, but it''s an obvious subject for a new post, isn''t it?
Dash 8- fairly maintenance friendly, and decent manuals, good WDM.
Twin Otter- dead reliable, simple, same decent manuals.
F28- lots of test equipment capability for t/s, reasonable access, not too complicated.

Ooooops forgot one more category
Military

CF 104 the ultimate lean mean flying machine. It was also well designed from a maintainer''s point of view. Lower than a snake''s belly at the speed of heat.
Check out a couple of photos I hjust uploaded

Airliners

B737,27,47 Juraisics all cut from the same cloth. Simple, reliable great comonality of engineering.

G-II The Whiz-Bang was a great early "super Jet" if you didn''t mind the smoke



Helicopters
S76, B212 lots of room and usually well laid out

The Dornier 328Jet is a beauty, course its fairly new so like most modern A/C its maintenance friendly. I recall going into the first 737/200 cockpit and the similarity to a DC3 came to mind.

Well, I''d have to go with the 737-200 AND the DC-3! As well as the twotter. There''s a reason why those two machines are still flying today!

I like the Rice Rockets, too! Built like a Tank!

Helicopters - the S61 and the HU 500!

Military - The DC-3 , CF 104 and the CF18

Thought I was loving working on the old
beaver. And then the caravan came along.

I guess anything that isn''t as old as I am, (and that doesn''t leave a lot ).

Anything with a PT6 on it is heaven for me.
