Depending on which game world I play, I mostly use the following regional a/c;

Prop:
Fokker F27 -> Fokker 50 -> ATR42/72 or Bombardier Q400
Jet:
Fokker F28 -> Fokker 70 -> Embraer E170
     N/A    -> Fokker 100 -> Embraer E190

I would say Saab 2000 and Dash 8 Q400

BAe-146/Avro RJ, An 26, An 148/158, HS748

Those are all little-used types that are quite successful

A380 on routes 300nm or less......kidding SAAB 2000 or Q400.

You jest but I had a fleet of them flying domestically in Japan with a config of 800 odd seats and they made me a bomb.

In seriousness the HS748 is a great little thing in the older games, I swore by it in the JA before the current one.

I did regret not having the Fokker 500's a bit the other day, but they cannot do C-Class pax... I also found the HS 748 (that can carry C-Class) has been easier to order.  That siad, its C-Checks hurt a bit more.  Not sure if after 3-4 years I'm going to keep my Supers and take advantage of lower leases, or look to swap to ATPs or something else

NAMC YS-11's are great overlooked airplanes.

NAMC YS-11's are great overlooked airplanes.

I agree... some people don't like the range.  If you change the HD seats to standard, you get a ton more range out of them.

Also agree - I started off with some YS-11s, because they weren't such a hot commodity on the used market. They've since been replaced with ATPs in my fleet

I can vouch for the AN 148/58. I have a fleet of about 50 of them over in MT3 and they are performing quite well. Cheap to purchase or lease and quick to deliver!

I think AN 148/58 are the good once too.

sometimes its the overlooked aircraft that are the best. There's more to the aviation industry than Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier and Embraer
