The Avro RJ85 Nobody Remembers | Northwest Airlink Memphis to Knoxville | MSFS 2024

The Avro RJ85 flew American skies for years — and almost nobody remembers it. Today we bring it back. In this Microsoft Flight Simulator flight, we strap into a Northwest Airlink Avro RJ85 for the short-hop classic route from Memphis International (KMEM) to Knoxville McGhee Tyson (KTYS), in full authentic livery with vintage procedures. The Avro RJ85 (a BAe 146 variant) was known for its four high-mounted engines, whisper-quiet approach, and a silhouette unlike anything else at the gate. Northwest Airlink operated a small fleet on routes exactly like this — quietly connecting mid-size cities across the American South before fading into aviation history. This is our tribute to the jet that time forgot. ✈️ In this flight: • Cold & dark startup — Avro RJ85 walkthrough • Pushback and taxi at Memphis International (KMEM) • Climb out over the Tennessee River Valley • Scenic cruise through the Appalachian foothills • ILS approach and landing at Knoxville McGhee Tyson (KTYS) • Authentic Northwest Airlink livery and vintage ATC procedures If you love forgotten aircraft, classic regional jets, or Microsoft Flight Simulator, this one's for you.
