King Air 200 series’ ramp appeal impresses charter passengers
by MeLinda Schnyder
One of Howard Palser’s childhood memories from growing up in the coastal city of Cardiff in Great Britain’s South Wales region is of his parents taking him and his brother on Sunday afternoons to watch aircraft landing and taking off at the airport. He remembers sipping lemonade while watching what he describes as pure theater, when the Cambrian Airways’ Douglas DC-3 Dakotas fired up: engines coughing up smoke and belching flames out of the exhausts with a cacophony of noise. He also saw the comings and goings of the more modern Fokker F27 Friendship turboprop airliners operated by the Irish airline Aer Lingus.
