Dornier 228-202, registered N239RP, flew for Precision Airlines in Eastern Express colors as part of Eastern Air Lines' commuter network, and was photographed departing Boston on July 29, 1988. Eastern relied on regional partners to feed passengers from smaller New England cities into its mainline hubs, and the twin-turboprop Dornier 228, a short takeoff and landing commuter with a boxy fuselage and a high, straight wing, suited those thin routes. The Eastern Express brand disappeared when Eastern itself ceased operations in January 1991, ending one of the best-known commuter feeder systems of the pre-merger era.
Designed as a twin-turboprop powered Short Take-Off and Landing utility aircraft, the Do 228 was first flown on Match 21st, 1981. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
