Watching news in Seattle. Reports of a person stealing a Q400 and flying over Puget sound and crashing on Ketron Island in the south sound. Flight Aware shows a Pierce County Sheriffs plane circling that island. F-15's scrambled from PDX.

I ignored this post because—even though I’m familiar with many aircraft—the term “Q400” meant nothing to me. A more descriptive post title would have been helpful.

It's a Dash 8 but this model is the Q400. That's what it is...
