The United States Army Parachute Team, nicknamed the Golden Knights, is a demonstration and competition parachute team of the United States Army. It consists of demonstration and competition parachutist teams, drawn from all branches of the U.S. Army. Members must demonstrate excellence in parachuting. All of the Knights' aircraft have a unique Golden Knights livery, which is black and white with a gold stripe down the middle, on the fuselage.
Designed as a short-haul transport based on the Dash 7 design, the Bombardier Dash 8 (formerly de Havilland Canada DHC-8) was first flown on June 20th, 1983. Appearing to be a smaller, twin-engined version of the Dash 7, the Dash 8 design placed less emphasis on STOL (Short take-off and landing) capability and focused more heavily on economical operation. The two Pratt & Whitney PW100 engines mated to a very high aspect ratio wing enabled the Dash 8 to offer the lowest cost per passenger mile of any regional airliner of it's era. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
Gemini's 1:200 scale Dash 8 models are constructed mostly of solid diecast metal with only the smallest amount of plastic used. The fuselage and tail fin are seamlessly constructed as a single unit and feature pad-printed windows and doors, fine photo-etch antennas and a glimmering jewel-cut anti-collision lens on top. The solid metal high aspect ratio wing is a clearly seen element on this model as are the long slender engine nacelles with metal propeller blades and exhaust details. The series covers the Dash-8 200 series and the improved Q400 series with a noticeably longer stretched fuselage and efficient five bladed scimitar shaped propeller blades.
