Dornier 228

 Wandering through a deserted airport terminal…

Sebastian: Can’t fly internationally, but how about a hop to an offshore island on one of these?

Luke: They’re a bit little, aren’t they?

Sebastian: Small aircraft are fun.

Luke: Until they hit air bumps.

Sebastian: Turbulence, hmm. Fares look cheap enough.

Luke: It’s a Dornier 228.

Sebastian: So?

Luke: I just googled them. Quite a few incidents. Including “Controlled Flights Into Terrain.”

Sebastian: What countries?

Luke: Yes, well. Nepal, Nigeria.

Great little work horses and war horses it seems. And Sebastian has a point. Check where these incidents happened and the maintenance context.
