Yeah, not a great airline by any stretch of the imagination but sometimes you just gotta do the best with what you've got.  I originally went out to try to catch a KingAir 200 but he beat me to the airport, so I had to settle for this.

Nice settle, your picture is very sharp!  Cool
 

FSX, we've come a long way baby! Skunk Works is an official alias for Lockheed Martin’s Advanced Development Programs (ADP), formerly called Lockheed Advanced Development Projects. Skunk Works is responsible for a number of famous aircraft designs, including the U-2, the SR-71 Blackbird, the F-117 Nighthawk, and the F-22 Raptor. Its largest current project is the F-35 Lightning II

From what I've just seen in a couple of news articles, the Colgan Air name will be soon gone.  Colgan is owned by Pinnacle Airlines, which also owns Mesaba.  It sounds like they will merge Colgan with Mesaba, keeping the Mesaba name.  Colgan currently operates flights under the Continental Connection, United Express and US Airways Express names, while Mesaba flies under Delta Connection.
