noelphillips, I'm taking over a B1900D

[@LDTV22OfficialChannel]

TUNNELBEAR IS BETTER

[@ropshubop]

My favorite little airliner. I’m glad KZbin recommended this old beauty.

[@p4m209]

“There’s no toilet” “That’s why I’m here” What to pee in your seat

[@Noblepilot_abrahamvwi_aeroplan]

Beautiful beautiful aeroplane. This is the best B-1900D cabin I've ever seen. Pretty luxurious. The seats are top notch.

[@ThatCodeBlue]

What a rare sighting these days! I grew up in Wichita, Kansas, where the 1900 was made. I’ve seen them with and without lavatories (Air Georgian cut out 1 seat and half the cargo hold) but haven’t ever seen one with a flight attendant. Very interesting.

[@thetwopointslow]

JA Mack Small world. Fellow Wichitan here. Thanks for the info!

[@Davi3038849844]

7:24 love the reflection on the spinner

[@matmooNZ]

Massive love for the 1900D's. My childhood was spent watching Air New Zealand operate them into Gisborne. The reason why I first got into aviation :)

[@MrRamyon74]

I have flown on the 1900D quite a few times, Air NZ used to have a significant fleet. Retired them about three years ago now.

[@fulthrottleavi8r]

That is one of the nicer 1900D cabins I’ve seen on KZbin

[@johndonald3566]

One of the nicer B1900D's I've seen as well.

[@herenow6953]

Loved the shot of the nose gear deploying in the reflection on the propeller head 😍 great vid!

[@whitestripe1854]

"There are no toilets on board" "Yes yes, that's why I'm flying it" 😂😂😂

[@poletme]

Very interesting, thank you! I also want to fly this type of aircraft someday...

[@Atlas_Redux]

I've never flown anything in real life, but I've kind of fallen in love with flying this in FSX and watching videos of it.

[@avpsycpilot452]

Great video. Over the years I have flown on the Beach1900D many times. Although there was no service on these flights I truly enjoyed the experience. Thanks for sharing

[@happyhermit2022]

That was really good thank you. I maintained Kingairs for many years...delightful and very charming aircraft.....

[@Mjp74]

I get to fyi in one of these quite often for work. The company i work for has 2 of them. Short rides usually no more than 2 hours. It's an awesome plane to ride. Great video!

[@Fiedman]

Great Video, And an aircraft I am very familiar with. I use to fly on this type of aircraft at least once a year here in Western Canada.

[@enjybenjy12]

Shaun Fiedler it’s a shame they don’t fly into Comox!

[@bmused55]

Had a whole 1900D to myself once. My connecting flight was delayed so I was rebooked onto what appeared to be a positioning flight from West Palm Beach to Nassau. No flight attendant. Was greeted by the first officer and captain! Me and the crew got on great :) On approach to Nassau, we had to go through some big clouds and got thrown about a bit. At one point all the screens in the cockpit went out and I saw the captain flip a few switched on the overhead panel and the screens slowly came back to life. I asked what had happened once we landed. Capt. said a generator had gone offline and he switched the load to the second.

[@alexeveryman5080]

Quite an adventure.

[@pilotseye24]

The Beech 1900D actually does have flight deck doors. The crew just opt not to close them for most flights.

[@Kirstin-jd3wf]

That surprises me. I thought after 9/11 everyone was forced to close the doors during flight. Even on a dornier 328, which has the same kind of door, we had to close it after the rampi had left.

[@pilotseye24]

@@Kirstin-jd3wf It has to do with how the aircraft was/is certified. The Beech 1900D is certified under FAR Part 23 Commuter Category and therefore does not require to have a lockable flight deck door. It also comes down to the fact that the aircrafts flight deck does not have emergency exits for the crew in the cockpit. So that in the event of the need to evacuate, the cockpit doors should not unseasonably hinder the flight crew from escaping.

[@Kirstin-jd3wf]

@@pilotseye24 ah ok. Thank you

[@travelwithcarl_au]

Great review. Like you I love flying random flights just to fly different aircraft types. I'm flying them from Lyon to Metz in May and looking forward to trying them out.

[@banchnotok]

This plane is always waking me up, love it

[@Ericbryanmr]

My favourite plane to fly on. Air New Zealand used to have a lot of these for some of their domestic flights up until a few years ago when they got replaced by q300s. I really miss their power and agility.

[@andreworiez8920]

Used to fly out of Cheyenne, WY on 1900Ds with Great Lakes Aviation... Now GLA went under and there are a dozen of the 1900s lined up taking up ramp space I think the only ones left flying in US airspace are flying up in Alaska

[@pieterbossers7543]

Used to fly the 900C as well as D often on Air Namibia's domestic and regional routes. Always good experience, alrhough someshat noisy.

[@ronriesinger7755]

Nice video. Reminds me of flying with my grandfather, who was chief pilot for a company. He flew execs around the USA for many years in a Beechcraft Twin Bonanza, what he referred to as “the Cadillac of small planes”.

[@diederikvanrappard7506]

Excellent trip report, I used to fly on the 1900D on the RTM-BHX route a long time ago, quite often there were only 3 or 4 passengers on board Trans Travel Airlines. I miss those days.

[@OliverKlovdalAs]

Flew with this type of aircraft from San Andres to Providencia in Colombia just 2 days ago

[@tobyprice1092]

We use them regularly in Angola with Son Air. Can be a bumpy flight.

[@josadler35]

I remember flying the USAir express B1900 from Pittsburgh to Hagerstown MD back and forth.I loved the flights mate. There was no catering or an attendant for sure, this is awesome.

[@pitrovboshirovinternationa6889]

There's yet another operator of this aircraft type in France called Chalair. As opposed to Twinjet, they fly only domestically across France, however their planes are supposed to have toilet facilities on board.

[@RobinsVoyage]

I never thought about the lack of a bathroom. Maybe because the last time I flew one I was in my early 30s on Great Lakes Airlines. I loved being able to see out the cockpit window, and the OVERSPEED buzzer that came on on our approach to Kearney, Nebraska. In the seat adjacent and ahead of me was an off duty pilot who casually turns to everyone and says "Just an OVERSPEED, nothing unusual." Great experience. I miss Great Lakes Airlines

[@nycflyertravel]

Nice video! You definitely can’t beat a 1-1 seating configuration

[@hoover517]

we flew on one belonging to USAir in 1996 from New Orleans to Orlando. Love it.

[@MileHigh_Aviation]

Awesome video man liked

[@philippkoziar1407]

Noel’s Reports are the very best on KZbin! Love the Reports since the beginning! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@PlanesTrainsEverything]

Another great video. I particularly liked the shot of the nose wheel coming down reflected off the spinner.

[@eaubert1]

5:51 That's Lake Hallwil! I live a 20 minute drive to the North of that lake.

[@wvusciguy]

Rode on a beech 1900 from MGW to PIT. Kind of fun.

[@voxley19]

Wonderful video of a really interesting flight.

[@edwardwatsonjr6479]

The beechcraft 1900D are excellent aircraft I flew on them allot when I worked for us airways express ( airmidwaest) .I really hated to see them be replaced with the canadaair jets CRJ 50 SEATERS.

[@IATAtravelAgent35]

I flew 2 times on a beechcraft 1900D between Lisbon and Casablanca, the airline is called portugalia but I had TAP tickets. Quite an adventure I have to say. But so much noise

[@mikepeover9379]

Another great flight Video Noel, i love the regional aircraft i hope you can do more on the smaller aircraft.

[@christopherwilliams2]

That twin jet was a nice experience though. I understand why the trains are popular

[@SkyHighGuys]

Okay your videos and the typed of aircraft you fly are amazing. Well done on your videos dude. Way to inspire the younger generation it’s the quality they can look up to. Back when Great Lakes flew in Denver, they flew the B1900D and I am depressed I never was able to fly them. Also I have never seen the B1900D with a FA. Weird.

[@davidharris2519]

used to work for a airline that flew 1900d and Cs best 19 seater out there

[@cardiffflyer]

Great video! They look like the French version of Eastern Airways, serving niche routes at a high price.

[@kabuterrimondw5919]

Really interesting fact towards the end, thanks for sharing this! Great vid

[@keatwall4430]

Love watching your videos Noel you see some amazing sites round the wold keep it up if you need anyone to hold your bags I come with you. Hahah

[@davidfournier6404]

Thanks a lot Noël. Do you remember if they had additional.luggage ? I am thinking to use it to do à Paris to le puy connection but would need to carry a big backpack along. Tx

[@mylosairplanefan]

That was an interesting flight, nice video, mate!

[@SNS8R03]

There are very few 1900D's left in the world today? Come to Canada, many still operating, esp in Western Canada.

[@nvire5202]

Didn't expect that you'd fly Twin Jet nice vid

[@cruisinaltitude]

It's a cool trip. Who served you the food? Also, when I flew the Beech 1990 and the 1900D the pilot gave the demo, not a computer screen; advanced :-). Thanks for the ride.

[@SM-wf9by]

When you get a French roll, it's usually a baguette Noel, not a sandwich, please!

[@FlavioSpirit]

Bom dia !!!!! Vídeo excelente, gostei mesmo. Muito obrigado e parabéns pelo canal. Abraço do Brasil.......

[@shaneramlall7172]

In my country, all the domestic airlines use the 1900D so it’s a very common sight for me. Noel, can you do a Caribbean Airlines review? Thanks!

[@zakelwe]

I wonder if Surf Shack works in the IOM or whether you have to, like the natives, still use jungle drums?

[@AberdeenAviation]

Awesome! Love Zurich airport it has an airside tour

[@beaversdaniel]

Love all your videos Noel keep up the great work!

[@kabuterrimondw5919]

Nice vid, I believe Chalair Aviation which I see a lot of at Bordeaux use quite a few of these planes

[@stebene63]

very nice flight but very expensive as well...

[@Dkentflyer]

Great video Noel, have an B1900D in my fleet with the option of a toilet :). will you ever do full flight videos again as I really miss those.

[@BertrandPigeon]

You mention flying South-East while you were going South-West. But great informative viseo

[@julzb7165]

If you add the cost of the alcoholic drink and snack it is not too bad for an underserved route. Very immersive video Noel. The views were spectacular indeed. Nice experience, which is your next aircraft and route that is on the top of the list?

[@samholly3168]

Excellent video, I was just thinking if you were going to post today. I hope to fly this aircraft from Halifax to Moncton with Air Canada Express.

[@viking7509]

I flew that route with the beechcraft 1900d last year of April. Wonderful experience!

[@PeterNGloor]

no toilet on that Beech? Very funny.

[@mundlkalli4396]

never never speed up the take off thank you !!!!

[@elvisjonyo2624]

Love your content

[@Bad_Karma1968]

Another great vlog Noel You skipped the king of burgers 🙀

[@miltonwilliams3513]

WHAT??!!??! No Loo review? So disapponted lol

[@bubbletripreports3171]

what about the dash 7

[@Gopackgo1000]

Skyway airlines flew these I'm shocked they had flight att on board

[@tommyvdlee8907]

Can you goin flying with transavia its a dutch plane

[@Yautah]

"Twinjets" - uses turbo props

[@maybach8537]

Basically a jet engine with a prop

[@lovethosebudgies]

Oh no, the ascent was sped up ☹️ I wanted to see a realistic view because I'm trying to drum up the courage to go on one of these.

[@jtbt2233]

Ii it usually, at there is a additional crew member on a 1900d flight?

[@bryanvanarkel9662]

Hi Noel, are you able to review the only jetstream 31/32 operator in Europe AIS Airlines? On the specific route GRQ-CPH?

[@Watfordfc71]

Nice flight but a tad expensive

[@c.cesar29]

Do they have a flight attendant?

[@ridinround8334]

Hey Noel love the videos, will you be flying on an A340 any time soon

[@thetravelvideochannel188]

Good video

[@juanmanuelgorosavecarrillo6092]

No tiene w/c?

[@CherylsLyrics]

That's such an expensive flight.

[@johndonald3566]

In short. That's why they are no longer in production with the market now favoring the small regional jets as a starting point for air transportation for the lesser served routes.

[@carlosaguirrefirth880]

What program do you use for the moving map?

[@miadrain1454]

anyone else hear the GPWS when the plane was landing 9:59

[@antoniolongas5456]

Good video, indeed.

[@AR-yb4tz]

There was a flight attendant???

[@Mircea1997]

Dont u want to fly the Tarom???:D testing? 737-800??

[@cyriluebbing22]

Nice

[@LutherusPandragon]

One mistake. It is turboprop not jet

[@flyoverfredusa]

excellent !

[@joelh2800]

What do u work as to be able to do all of this flying about

[@jeddis92]

I flew on one of those from Pittsburgh, PA to Hagerstown, MD. First time I'd ever been airsick on a plane. Worst flight of my life.

[@chrishall8705]

That check in Lady was hot!

[@juanmanuelgorosavecarrillo6092]

W/C?

[@airbus214airplane]

There's better food on a B 1900 D in Europe than I get on a four hour United flight in the US. 🤦

[@brandonmooney-soloyeva9934]

What kind of Adria plane @4:15

[@CytrusF1]

Crj900 they went bankrupt about 2 months ago

[@johnclauder615]

Thank you for making me feel home sick ... I hate you !!! Great report as usual.

[@joshhelyer251]

10:25 Ryanair who?

[@willford8475]

Why not put 'From' and 'To' in the title?
