Nice plane! :) From a front view, the nose does me remind of the B757. Who are the first customers?

The movie is very nice, and as you allready said the landing was indeed not the best one :)

Are all the movie parts really from the maiden flight ??? I once read somewhere that during the maiden flight an airplane never retract its gears !! And in the movie you can clearly see that this is not the case :roll:

It's also very strange to see that the ERJ175 program doesn't have any customers yet :( .

Let's hope that there will be some more customers for the ERJ170/175/190/195 program soon, because there aren't that much. Thanks to Jetblue and US the program is quite succesfull but if you take the 2 ordres away the entire program only has 50 planes on order instead of 245 8O Just think what would happen if US would cease ops !!!!

The footage is all from the first flight. The gear was kept down during climbout (I was beside the runway), but before landing the plane made a low altitude pass over the runway (and wagged its wings :D ) and the gear was up. I tohught that was strange as well, for a first flight.

Anyway, the plane went around, the gear came down and the plane landed (not too smooth, though I didn´t see it at the time).

On the orders side, the order from Republic Airways Holdings (Chataqua parent company) for 16+34 options on the 170 pretty much calmed my nervousness in relation to the situation at US Airways (which holds most of the 170 short term order book).

Republic is a quality customer, they fly hundreds of 145´s and I dont see them stopping at 50 planes with the 170.

regards,

Peter
