The Dash 7 List

Back to Dash 7 Homepage
This should eventually evolve into a list of all Dash 7's ever built. I plan to include photos of all of them. As this is a kind of hobby (others might call it an obsession...), the list is far from complete, and I am grateful for any information to add here. I appreciate fotos as well as other information on the airplanes.

I would also like to apologize to all the kind people who send me reams of information and fotos which are still not listed here due to a severe lack of spare time encountered since the arrival of two children. All your mails are on file and will be processed, hopefully before my not so imminent retirment.

Airplanes operated by Tyrolean Airways are included on the main page. Click here.

Any information on the current whereabouts of S/N 90 and ownership status would be especially welcome!

A total of 113 Dash 7's were built. At least 4 have been crashed and at least one has been scrapped.
