Hey guys! After a nice stay in Clovis, New Mexico, it was time to head back up to Denver aboard the Dornier 328 Jet operated by Denver Air Connection. This route is part of the government subsidized Essential Air Service program which gives smaller towns air service that normally would be left out or without it completely. DAC just picked up the contract from Boutique in 2020 and I have to absolutely agree with CVN's decision to switch. The chance to fly a Dornier 328 Jet in the USA is a rare and special opportunity. But not only is it sweet enough to fly the D328Jet, DAC is also a pretty nice little airline with some very friendly folks working for them providing a generous service onboard that really stands out above most other US airlines. Would very much recommend giving Denver Air Connection a try as they fly to numerous destinations in Colorado, NM, Nebraska, and Minnesota. Hope you guys enjoy this special vid!

    My 11 yo and I see this exact plane (N395DC) on our way to school every morning, as it lands in MSP. We finally figured out the mystery of the "weird plane" today, and are delighted to see your video about it!

    Wow….I wish all flights were as easy and stress free as this one. The Clovis airport looks like something from an old movie set. Great video…as usual! Music/editing spot on!
  • I am living near Munich and near the Dornier production and service plant. The daughter of my old school friend is doing shipment flies of new airplanes to customers and other flights i don't know about. I am happy that you were flying the 328 in the USA, as i am looking where in the world you can find them. Thx a lot for this nice vid!!! A lot of stuff i can ask my friends now.
  • Never heard of a Dornier jet before! So I like your videos that enable viewers to fly virtually on different aircraft and to many destinations! Thank you! 🙂🛩

    Back in 2006, I flew from Denver to Madison, WI on Midwest Airlines. The airline's main hub was Milwaukee (MKE) and the connection between MKE and MSN was on the Fairchild Dornier 328JET. It's a really nice little jet.

    Love small passenger planes, it is always unique experience!
  • @TodosLados
    One of your best reports. Love how you make the comments before landing with some facts and opinions! Excellent job!!!
  • @johntyson
    Thanks for this video, man! My wife is working in Clovis for the next 6 months and will be commuting back and forth to DFW. This will ease her nerves for the first flight home.
  • Great video! I can’t believe how tiny the Clovis airport is! And this is a pretty short flight! I can’t wait to see what happens next!
  • @Mr8888X
    I love that you show your surroundings a bit as well. Makes the trip report so much better imo
  • @IDALBOE
    Awesome video again I love watching these they just keep bringing me back and back love aviation and this aviation channel!
  • I really enjoyed this video. Particularly the beginning giving us the local color of Clovis. Music was very good, and caught the mood of the small town. Great Job

    Ultimate Air Shuttle operated out of Cleveland Burke Lakefront Airport. Flew on their Dornier 328 jet a few times. A unique and enjoyable experience

    loved flying on the 328JET out of Milwaukee to Des Moines on Midwest Connect, a great little aircraft - not the longest range, but it was not designed for transcontinental flights. Those PW306's really howl as they spool up. Very cool unique plane. thank you for sharing this! (just looked, this leg is now flown with an ERJ-145 as of 3/2/23)
  • @ron2278
    Thanks for the short tour of Clovis, NM and your flight out. Great job!

    The Frontier airlines flight that pushed back at 18:17 is where I’m taking a road trip to next week and then Owatonna, MN and the twin cities. It’s also rare for a shuttle bus to carry passengers and a trailer at the same time.

    I just flew on them from MSP to Thief River Falls MN and was impressed the large windows were great and the snack service was great.

    The airport in Clovis reminded me of the airport of my hometown here in Brazil when we were young - we could even cross the runaway to visit my grandfather's house. Of course, you cannot do it any longer hahahahaha
