Flying on a Beechcraft 1900D in Europe!
video description
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.

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

This reminds of flying to Stockholm from Germany on a Saab2000 with no toilet as well. No one told us and they were happily serving us coffee until the first few passengers went to the back and came back with a decidedly unhappy face. Flight time was about 2, 5h due to head wind. Thankfully there were facilities right before passport control.

Okay your videos and the typed of aircraft you fly are amazing. Well done on your videos dude. Way to inspire the younger generation its 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.

I flew on these in 1987 it sucked outbound was the pressurized model but return was non pressurized like flying on a bus no ac no safety information and the first pilot looked like a guy that goes to a bar and impress women by saying Im a airline pilot but looks like a bus driver

What a rare sighting these days! I grew up in Wichita, Kansas, where the 1900 was made. Ive seen them with and without lavatories (Air Georgian cut out 1 seat and half the cargo hold) but havent ever seen one with a flight attendant. Very interesting.

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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: )
