  Airliners.net: De Havilland Canada DHC-8-100/200 Dash 8
Bombardier's de Havilland Dash 8 has proven to be a popular player in the regional turboprop airliner market.
De Havilland Canada began development of the Dash 8 in the late 1970s in response to what it saw as a considerable market demand for a new generation 30 to 40 seat commuter airliner.
In 1998 that was changed again to Dash 8 Q200 when a new interior was introduced.

  Union Pacific GE Dash 8 Locomotives
Other than their road numbers, the first Dash 8 order on UP is easy to distinguish by the high sand fill located on the top of the rear of the radiator compartment.
Considering that the Dash 8 was only introduced 2-1/2 years before, in late-1987, and the total numbers of locomotives built by all builders in the previous 15 years, 1,000 units of any locomotive model is truly noteworthy.
It was planned that by the time of their delivery, these General Electric Dash 8 units would be joining the Morrison Knudsen 1,200 horsepower switchers and the EMD LNG-fueled SD60Ms 6364 and 6365 to form the first fleet of railroad units testing this promising new, and environmentally friendly fuel.

 FlightSim.Com Review: Just Flight Dash 8-300 Professional
Yeah, I know, a Dash 8 does ship with Flight Simulator as standard, but it is an AI plane and although there are plenty of hacks and panels available to make it flyable, it isn't on the same planet as the PSS design.
The Dash 8 is a pilot's aircraft, which is just as well, given some of the places it has to get in and out of, so it is relatively maneuverable, but you do have to watch out for lag on engine spool up.
On a real Dash 8 you can tell if AUX or the NAV radio is selected just by looking at the state of the switch, but in the sim, just about the only way of knowing is to look at the EHSI in the Q300, which can be puzzling until you work it out.

 De Havilland Canada Dash 8 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Distinguishing features of the Dash 8 design are the large T-tail intended to keep the tail free of propwash during takeoff, a very high aspect ratio wing, the elongated engine nacelles also holding the rearward-folding landing gear and the pointed nose profile.
The Dash 8 was introduced at a particularly advantageous time; most airlines were in the process of adding new aircraft to their fleet as the airline industry expanded greatly in the 1980s.
The resulting ATR 42 was even less expensive than the Dash 8, but de Havilland Canada responded with newer models to close the gap.

The Dash 8-100 was followed by the Dash 8-100A, which offered more headroom and improved propellers in 1990 and the Dash 8-100B in 1992.
In 1998, the Dash 8-300 got the same noise reduction and interior upgrades as the Dash 8-100 and was renamed the Q300.
The Dash 8-200 was designed to meet the need for a plane which shared the compact dimensions of the Dash 8-100, but had offered more speed and payload weight.

 FlightSim.Com Review: PSS DeHavilland Dash 8
Given the ubiquitous nature of the Dash 8, it was only a matter of time before one of the major software developers released one for Flight Simulator and Phoenix Simulation Software (PSS) have stepped into the breach with an excellent add-on.
Yeah, I know, a Dash 8 does ship with FS2002 as standard, but it is an AI plane and although there are plenty of hacks and panels available to make it flyable, it isn't on the same planet as the PSS design.
Yep, the King Air definitely does not have an overhead like that - and the Dash 8 has a bank of caution and warning lights that has few rivals in the FS world.

 De Havilland Dash 8
Launched in 1980, the de Havilland Dash 8 is the most successful regional airliner in the world, with over 400 in service.
Equipped with the advanced technology Noise and Vibration Suppression (NVS) system, Dash 8Q aircraft are the quietest, most vibration-free turboprop aircraft in the sky, setting previously unknown standards of passenger comfort that approach those of jet aircraft.
For years, the Dash 8 Series 100 have been proving their capabilities in military and coastal surveillance, as fast and convenient executive transport and for airways and navigation aid calibration.

From the first aircraft purchased by the British government to the world’s first jet airliner, the Comet, De Havilland Aircraft Company specialized in the manufacture of military and civil aircraft until it was acquired by Hawker-Siddeley in 1959, which later merged with British Aerospace.
Dash 8-200: Part of the series of twin-turboprop airliners, designed in 1980, the Dash 8-200, and its counterparts, were renamed as the Q series due to quieter engines and an active Noise and Vibration Suppression (NVS) system.
Dash 8-300: The Dash 8-300 accommodates 50-56 passengers and entered into service in 1989.

 Airliners.net: De Havilland Canada DHC-8-300 Dash 8
With the success of the Dash 8-100 series, a stretched version with greater capacity was a logical development.
The first series 300 aircraft was in fact the prototype Dash 8 converted to the new length, and it flew for the first time in its new configuration on May 15 1987.
Like the Dash 8Q-200, all Dash 8-300s built since the second quarter of 1996 have been fitted with a computer controlled noise and vibration suppression system (or NVS) and so from then all models were designated Dash 8Q-300s.

 Aviation Video: De Havilland Canada Dash 8 - InterSky
The de Havilland Canada DHC-8, popularly the Dash 8, is a series of twin-turboprop airliners designed by de Havilland Canada in the early 1980s.
The Dash 8 was the first of several new, efficient turboprop airliners developed during the 1980s.
All Dash 8s delivered from the second quarter of 1996 (including all series 400s) include an active Noise and Vibration Suppression (NVS) system designed to reduce cabin noise and vibration levels to near those of jet airliners.

Also included are a cockpit presentation and walkaround of the Dash 8 and flights to 8 destinations with one of the most memorable approaches and landings on the island of Elba.
Above all, the program is great to watch because it shows a wide range of things including Emergency Training, steep approaches into Elba (from both the inside and outside of the aircraft), various views in the cabin, a cockpit presentation, a walkaround, and more.
the Dash 8-300 is a beautiful airplane really loved the air to air filming, the variety of the program was very impressive with lots of different filming both from cockpit and scenery.I can truly recommend this program.

 GE Dash 8-32BWH - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The GE Dash 8-32BWH, also known as the B32-8WH or P32-8WH, is a modern diesel-electric locomotive used by Amtrak to pull passenger trains.
The first Dash 8 to complete overhaul was number 507, which received "Phase V" paint.
Two of the locomotives (501 and 502) were purchased by the California Department of Transportation and they were renumbered 2051 and 2052, and received the Amtrak California paint sceme.

Built in the late 1980's by GE, the DASH 8-40B diesel locomotives were identified by their dynamic brake gear located along the roof line between the cab and engine compartment, with ventilation provided by large roof-top grilles.
Designed by GE in the late 1980's for Santa Fe as part of their "super fleet" of locos, the four-axle, high horsepower DASH 8-40BW is still in service today.
Amtrak liked the design so much, they had the DASH 8-40BW modified to reflect their new generation of passenger diesels to a DASH 8-32BHW.

 Atlas HO DASH 8-40CW Locomotives
First built for Union Pacific in the late 1980's by General Electric, the DASH 8-40C diesel locomotives were identified by an enlarged exhaust stack and the mounting of the dynamic brake grids in a square-like unit behind the cab, which housed an enlarged equipment blower fan.
The 4,000hp Dash 8-40CW was produced by General Electric between 1989 and 1993 as a follow-up to the successful Dash 8-40C locomotive.
The most distinguishing feature of this model was the introduction of GE’s version of the wide-nose “North American Safety Cab.” This style of cab would become a common sight on railroads across the country.
