A story about me and this aircraft
This replica Q300 is one of my most efforts so far because I loved it.
It is the aircraft that my parents and I actually took in August 2016. We take a domestic airline in Maldives from Male to Kaadedhdhoo, whose registration number is 8Q-IAK. I was very excited when I saw that we would be flying in a turboprop engine aircraft because I had never seen a turboprop aircraft so close, and I was going to take it.
I took a lot of pictures with my iPhone 4S from various angles -- luckily, the ground crew allowed me to walk around the plane. But unfortunately, the iPhone broke in late 2017, and when it was repaired, all the data was lost. However, I found some photos on my dad's cell phone. Although there are few photos, they are equally beautiful. All the photos I show here are not from the Internet but photos taken by my dad back then.
To be honest, the noise in the cabin of this plane is loud because of the engine. It's the noisiest plane I've ever been on. Whether taking off or cruising, you will feel a violent vibration in your chest. The speaking voice is also vibrating, which sounds like the voice of a "technical" robot from the 80s -- interesting.
I took the same type of plane from Kaadedhdhoo to Male, but its registration number is 8Q-IAO. Of course, I also made a version with the registration number 8Q-IAO.
Here is the old version I posted on August 2020: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/hmXQ7d/Bombardier-Dash-8-Q300-Maldivian-Airlines
