Dash 8-100
The De Havilland Dash 8 has proven to be a popular player in the regional turboprop airliner market. De Havilland Canada began development of the Dash 8 in the late 1970s in response to what it saw as considerable market demand for a new-generation 30- to 40-seat commuter airliner. The first flight of the first of two preproduction aircraft was on June 20 1983, while Canadian certification was awarded on September 28 1984. The first customer delivery was to NorOntair of Canada on October 23 1984... The De Havilland Dash 8 has proven to be a popular player in the regional turboprop airliner market.

Like the Dash 7, the Dash 8 features a high-mounted wing and Tail, and an advanced flight control system with considerable full-length trailing-edge flaps. Initial Dash 8 production was of the Series 100, which was followed by the Series 100A in 1990. The 100A introduced a revised interior with extra headroom and PW120A turboprops. The Series 100B was introduced in 1992 with more powerful PW121s for improved climb and airfield performance.
Virtualcol takes pride in presenting the initial version of a package of three models of this series, the DASH 8-100. This model has analog instruments but incorporates the version 100B FMS used in all subsequent versions.
