Are there any prop flights schuduled into JFK anymore or are all flights jets?

I know a couple Saabs go into JFK still. I think that's it though.

Phil...do you know what Saab flights those are?

I know American Eagle flew props before 9/11 but it was switched to all regional jet operations. United Express flew Jetstream 41s to IAD, and TIE Aviation flew Shorts 360s to Binghamton, NY I believe. Currently I can't think of any scheduled prop flights to JFK.

If I'm correct there are no more prop flights into JFK by airlines. UAL was the last with the Jetstreams to IAD but all the IAD flights are CRJs. Eagle is all RJs now and DAL are all RJs in the Northeast.

I haven't seen props at JFK in a while. I haven't seen the United Express Jetstreams for well over a year.

I'm pretty sure I saw a prop on the ground while we were taxxiing out just yesterday before departing to BOS. Because I was thinking the same thing as this topic's title when I saw it.

At LGA, only US Airways and Colgan use props, although it's a nice variety: Dash 8's, Saab 340s, Beech 1900's. Not like the old days, though, when LGA was prop heaven.

Air Canada supposedly brings in a Dash-8 every now and then.
