actually the door on a do-328 popped open almost immediately after takeoff but all onbard appeared to be a okay. the plane came back to the airfield and landed safely im surprised it made the phl news because it didnt in the abe area.
the flt crew did a tremendous job of bringing the plane back! job well done to them

They don't call it "velcrojet" for nothing. btw who operates the DoJet?

Actually, one of Delta's express operators flys the Dornier Jet. But this was the turboprop version. I think PSA is the only one of our Express carriers to operate that.

Are we sure it was a Dornier 328, because the news on tv in PHL showed the a/c at the gate and what they showed was a Dash 8? It would not suprise me if they got thier facts wrong.

 

[BoeingBoy]

The AP story says it was a D-328. Either the AP or TV station could be wrong. I know local news uses stock footage a lot if they don't have a camera on hand for live shots.

I'm surprised they didnt show a silver 727 with the brown-red titles. At least they were close.

 

[robbedagain]

it was a D-328 and i think psa is the only one with that type

 

[DorkDriver]

It was a PSA D328 turboprop. The crew did a great job and returned safely to the field. No info yet as to why the door came open.

oh, please get a pic to prove this. The Dornier 328 is a Jet. ACA has them and SkyWest has them. they're pretty rare, because the company went brankrupt and stopped making them. The DH-8 looks just like it but its a prop. PSA does not have the DOJet.

There is a Do328 turbo-prop AND a Do328 jet. PSA flies the turbo-prop version of the aircraft. PSA does not fly the jet version.
