The Dash. Is on.

It took a bit of effort, but in true Dunlop fashion, I saw a bid that I wanted and I built it. 10 flights. All from the timetable. No charters. All in the Dash 8 (all but one are in the 300, *the remaining one is in the 100). Without repeating an airport. I didn't quite accomplish that last one because I had to end where I started. There was only so much I could squeeze out of the schedules. There are still a handful of airports I want to visit that didn't make this list but this is what I came up with:
US6202 KEWR-KORF
AA4741 KORF-KDCA
US5997 KDCA-KHXD
US6032 KHXD-KCLT
AA4765 KCLT-KSBY
AA4869 KSBY-KPHL
AA4863* KPHL-KSYR
US6219 KSYR-KBOS
US6098 KBOS-KMDT
US6150 KMDT-KEWR
There's always the next bid!

I plotted all the east coast routes on a map. The hub and spoke system was not my friend. LOL The main hubs are PHL and CLT and there are quite a few ways to transition between them. Since they're not "our" hubs it makes things a little tricky but being able to start and finish at any the 3 NY airports helps. EWR has a few routes and you can hit LGA from PHL. If you want to incorporate a charter flight at the beginning and/or the end of the bid it would open up your possibilities considerably. At some point I will look at the west coast routes too, but I surmise that Horizon doesn't have quite as many possibilities out of LAX.

I have the Majestic Dash-8 and have come to like it. I was planning on doing some island hopping with the Dash-8 but haven't taken the time to plan a route. Think I will also steal your bid as suggested by Sergio.

I had a feeling some people got that for X-mas or have been toying with it. I couldn't spring that much but I did get the VirtualCol version. It's good enough and it goes nicely with at TSS sound package I had from way back.
Steal away sir!
