HISTORY ASPECTS:

The Bombardier Q400, registered as N435QX and proudly operated by Alaska Airlines in partnership with the University of Washington Huskies, represents a unique fusion of regional aviation and collegiate spirit. This turboprop aircraft was introduced into the Alaska Airlines fleet to serve as a flying tribute to the University of Washington’s Huskies, fostering a sense of school pride and unity among students, alumni, and fans. The Q400 has not only redefined regional air travel but also created an exciting connection between higher education and the world of aviation.

During the 1970’s, de Havilland Canada was busy with the production of their 4-engine, 50-seat STOL Dash 7 – DHC-7 – transport. However, to meet the airlines’ request for a similar yet more economical and faster aircraft, the Dash 8 – DHC-8 – was developed. The prototype Dash-8-100 first flew in 1983 and entered service in late 1984. The initially released Dash-8-100 was smaller than the Dash-7 and typically operated in a 37-seat configuration. In 1992, Bombardier Aerospace purchased de Havilland Canada and released an updated version of the popular Dash 8 as the Dash-8-200, which featured more powerful engines and increased cruising speed. A stretched version of the Dash-8-200, known as the Dash 8-300, eventually went into service with the original 50-seat capacity of the earlier Dash-7. Bombardier discontinued the Dash-8 100, 200 and 300 versions between 2005 and 2009, replacing it with the larger and more capable Dash-8-400, simply marketed as the Q400.

N435QX’s history with Alaska Airlines and its Huskies partnership is marked by its role in uniting fans of the university and providing travelers with a memorable flying experience. The aircraft is adorned with the iconic University of Washington Huskies’ colors and branding, inside and out. Its spacious cabin and efficient turboprop engines have made it a favorite for passengers traveling to destinations within the Pacific Northwest, demonstrating the aircraft’s reliability and performance.

This replica captures the essence of the aircraft, from its vibrant design to the iconic livery. For those who appreciate the significance of this flying tribute and its role in fostering school spirit, this 1:400 scale model is a must-have addition to any collection. Display it with pride and celebrate the special connection between education, regional aviation, and the vibrant culture of the University of Washington Huskies.

HISTORY ASPECTS:

The Bombardier CRJ900, registered as N942LR and operated by Mesa Airlines, has been a cornerstone in the airline’s fleet, known for its exceptional performance and contribution to regional air travel. This regional jet was introduced to meet the growing demand for efficient and convenient air transportation, connecting passengers to various destinations across the United States. Mesa Airlines’ integration of the CRJ900 marked a significant advancement in the airline’s mission to offer passengers a comfortable and reliable regional flying experience.

As the popularity of the 50 seat CRJ-100/200 grew, many of the world’s airlines turned to Bombardier for a larger aircraft that could carry a bigger payload. With the input that they received from the airlines, Bombardier responded to their requested requirements with the introduction of three new variants of the CRJ-100/200 – identified as the CRJ-700, CRJ-705 and the CRJ-900. All these new aircraft feature a stretched fuselage, a new, larger cabin, an all-new wing, and more powerful engines. The Bombardier CRJ-700 has been stretched 19 feet longer than the earlier CRJ-100/200, enabling the new aircraft to carry up to 78 passengers. With a range of up to 2,300 miles, Bombardier CRJ-700 is the longest-range aircraft in the Bombardier regional aircraft series. The largest of the three variants, the Bombardier CRJ-900, with a stretch of 31 feet longer than the original CRJ-100/200, can accommodate up to 90 passengers and a range of up to 2,100 miles. Rounding out the series is the Bombardier CRU-705. Although essentially a Bombardier CRJ-900 in size and appearance, the Bombardier CRU-705 is equipped with a “permanent” Business Class configuration of 75 seats, which permits the aircraft to operate within airlines’ legal pilot “scope clauses” within the aviation industry – a contract between a major airline and its pilots’ trade union, which limits the size and number of aircraft that may be flown by the major airline’s regional airline affiliate. The final iteration of the CRJ series is the model CRJ-550, which is a model CRJ-700 that has been fitted with a three-class cabin, limiting seating to 50 passengers.

N942LR’s history with Mesa Airlines is marked by its role in expanding the airline’s route network and providing passengers with a seamless and enjoyable journey. The CRJ900 boasts a spacious cabin, offering passengers a comfortable and enjoyable travel experience. With its advanced avionics and dependable performance, it has been a preferred choice for travelers seeking efficient regional air travel. Mesa Airlines’ commitment to passenger satisfaction and reliability has made the CRJ900 a vital asset in fulfilling the airline’s mission.

This replica captures the essence of the aircraft, from its sleek design to the iconic livery. For those who appreciate the significance of the CRJ900 in connecting communities and Mesa Airlines’ dedication to providing excellent regional air travel, this 1:400 scale model is a must-have addition to any collection. Display it with pride and celebrate the efficiency, reliability, and legacy that Mesa Airlines brings to the world of regional aviation.
