(4K) Taos Air Dornier 328JET (Taos, NM to Carlsbad, CA)

[@CAPJasonG]

I’m in J328 type school right now! Can’t wait to fly it!

[@RyanBomar]

No way! How cool is that? I'm pumped for you, because that'll stand out in a logbook.

[@OtakuAviators]

Are you flying it meanwhile Jordan or did Covid mess up the type rating?

[@Wildlifesupernannyfan]

My word!!!! Absolutely amazing skills to fly a 9 tonne twin jet dornia 328 plane. D: DORNIA PLANE O: OVER THE CLOUDS R: REMARKABLE SKILLS N: NEW HOBBY NEW SKILL I: INSPIRING PLANE A: AMAZING JOB

[@OHAREAVIATION]

Still need to jump on one of these sometime... thanks for the video, Ryan!

[@leonardpage2260]

They took off in the snow at Taos, NM, later to be greeted by palm-trees in Carlsbad, CA.

[@ShreyaChoudhuryMusic]

Awe wow!!! That’s so cool! 🙏

[@julzb7165]

Lovely footage as always Ryan 🙂✈ This aircraft really reminds me of a once popular quad jet avro which is increasingly rare in Europe now. Didn't realise the history of the aircraft. Great trip, happy travels

[@RyanBomar]

I can kind of see that. She's a unique aircraft, and very rare here in the States.

[@pilotincmnd1867]

Absolutely incredible video! Thank you for letting us ride along and share the beautiful scenery along the way!!! Many thanks for all you do and all the best best from the west coast of Florida USA!!!

[@RyanBomar]

I truly appreciate that! I love everything about Florida...except for the humidity, but you're probably used to it.

[@pilotincmnd1867]

Florida really ai a fun state overall, great places to visit and year round activities. The humidity can be quite brutal in some spots but thankfully my home is right on the Gulf of Mexico roughly 20 miles north of Clearwater Florida so there is always a breeze that helps to make it a little less noticeable.

[@deltafox757]

WOW that engine startup sound is amazing!

[@ahm_767]

Awesome!! Love this little jet, miss seeing them at LCY.

[@naturallyherb]

The mixed exhaust turbofan just looks so satisfying. It's just like the A340 hair dryers but much smaller.

[@TheHDAviation]

Nicely put together video, that must have been fun to get up in a 328JET.

[@RyanBomar]

It was a dream, quite honestly. It was a plane that I thought I had missed my opportunity to fly on, and then I see they're operating out of Hawthorne, 30 miles from me! No brainer.

[@SkyHighGuys]

Damn that’s awesome! I had the honor of flying Denver Air’s 328J. I didn’t realize the airline you flew had them as well. :) great video

[@RyanBomar]

When I heard that they're flying them out of an airport 30 miles from my house, I had to book tickets. Such a cool looking aircraft!

[@tonyhagerstrand]

The new Dornier 328 eco ! Good replacement in the future !

[@sla31]

I'm finally getting a chance to watch this. I've really been looking forward to it. It's been a long time since a 328JET was on any type of passenger service anywhere around me. Great Plains Airlines is really the only one that comes to mind. They flew in and out of Tulsa with the 328JET and the original turboprop 328. Great stuff my friend!

[@TaillwindMatt]

Great Video. I used to fly charter from DFW-SKX in the 328Jet for Great Plains. We didn't have approval to go into Angel fire due to the airport elevation. Those flights were a blast!

[@iahflyr4690]

You sure get some sweet rides Ryan. Another excellent video, thanks.

[@RyanBomar]

I get lucky once in a while with flights like these, and that scenery.

[@bazza945]

Nice flight. Best wishes from Down-Under.

[@NathanWind99]

We are planning to take this flight next month! Never been on such a small jet so I’m curious. Really appreciate this video!

[@GerardiAviation]

I was on that exact aircraft yesterday. I might have been in the same seat cause I recognize that scratch in the center of the window 😅

[@planesguy]

Great video! I absolutely love the 328J and still need to hop on a flight with one soon!

[@georgyhauersperger]

That was COOL!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!

[@RyanBomar]

You're the best, George! Thanks for giving the video a watch.

[@volvo7821]

Suave y agradable despegue, como lo es en un Dornier. Excelente

[@QuickBurn70]

14:34 is I-10 at Chiriaco Summit. The airstrip (L77) is just off the left of the screen, but you can actually see the taxiway making its 90 degree turn between the ramp and the runway.

[@RyanBomar]

Ah, thanks for addressing that! I had zero idea what I was looking at.

[@williamb.1582]

Really neat Ryan! I came across a 328JET flight in December in which I rode it from Toulouse to Friedrichshafen (Sun-Air of Scandinavia on behalf of BA). I was one of only two passengers! Take-off video is on my channel. I also went to the Dornier Museum in Friedrichshafen, although I'd say it is not worth going out of your way for like I did (neither was the nearby Zeppelin Museum)

[@RobMiami787]

Sweet route, very unique.

[@kittykat999a]

Like! Thanks, great video.

[@OtakuAviators]

Nice trip report Ryan👏🏻😃👍🏻

Nice vid, Ryan! Forrest

It sure appeared so, for the hour I was there :)

Amazing

Hi Ryan Bomar, I'm seeing it here in Brazil. In the city of Senador Canedo. Goiás State..

[@RyanBomar]

You live in a beautiful place that I'd love to visit someday.

[@Estradero]

@@RyanBomar Thanks 😄

[@canardeur8390]

This airplane seems quite quiet inside, judging on this video. How is it in reality?

[@ShreyaChoudhuryMusic]

The engine startup begins at 5:35.

[@elesbarcenasprietocecilies2580]

¡Very, very nice Ryant, thank you very much!

[@tyrell.]

It's so cute

[@6862ptc]

Wikipedia says Taos Air doesn’t use TSA security checks at Dallas Love? How is that legal? This is an airline right or something else?

[@RyanBomar]

The TSA stuff is behind the scenes, it's not like you have to walk through a traditional metal detector, but there are methods that ensure safety. Also, a complete background check is done of every passenger when the ticket is purchased, so if there are red flags, your ticket will be cancelled.

[@6862ptc]

@@RyanBomar: if I understand the FAR's I believe ANY airline that is "common carriage" must have their passengers screened by TSA using metal detectors. Because these passengers have access to the interior of airports served by part 121 airlines.

[@JamesThompson-oz8kh]

@@6862ptc Taos Air does not use the 121 terminal but uses private FBOs and so are exempt. You do need to present a "REAL ID", passport or current government ID like you would with a 121 carrier but TSA screening is not required. at the airport.

[@6862ptc]

@@JamesThompson-oz8kh, I see, so this isn't a Part 121 or 135 scheduled airline?

[@JamesThompson-oz8kh]

@@6862ptc It is listed as a public charter company. I don't know what part its listed under. I can assure you, however, that the lawyers and FAA sorted this out long before the first flight. Update: It is a Part 135 operation.

[@ritzgj3666]

What is NM ?

New Mexico

[@ritzgj3666]

@@RyanBomar I would write the headline like this:Taos Air with Dornier 328 Jet from Taos in New Mexico to Carlsbad in California

[@B.Launders]

Can someone give me a bit of background about Taos Air?

[@RyanBomar]

This addresses pretty much everything: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taos_Air

[@laqueprado1911]

Did the pilots deploy the flaps for take off?

[@blockvfive1196]

of course, you could clearly see the flaps on the upper wing at 9:30

[@Eagle737]

I've always thought the DoJet was a "fun" looking airplane but no first hand experience with one, I've only ever heard of how poor it was relative to the competition... Watching your vid fully shed light to how bad the DoJet was vs her competition and why she wasn't a success. The ERJ family burns roughly 1100-1200 lb/hr at M0.78 while at 37k doing a solid 450 average GS... this thing is only doing 0.64 while nearly 950 lb/hr a side and an abysmal 333 kt GS... and a huge seating revenue earning potential less with it being a much smaller seating capacity. A true shame because she's a unique fun looking jet that just had too small a niche of short field to ever be a runaway RJ success.
