Horizon Air De Havilland Canada DHC-8-401Q Dash 8

N409QX photographed at Wenatchee - Pangborn Memorial (EAT / KEAT) on Apr 20 by Royal S King. On the same week I shot the first 777-300ER for Air Austral, the first 777 for LAN, and the first new colors Air France, I shot this - and I can tell you that this was more of a challenge then all those others, combined. I always thought the Q400 looks a little bit like a Pterodactyl from this angle.
