What is your favorite regional jet?

Post by nwa757 »

What is your favoriote regional jet? It can be anything from the 328JET to ther RJ-100.

For me it is either the Fairchild-Dornier Do-328JET

Or the BAe Systems/Avro RJ-85

I have to say the BAe 146/Avro RJ as it's the only regional jet type I've been on. I like to see the CRJ as it has a superb take off performance and I hope I might fly in the type one day.

Since I sampled the ERJ-170, it has become my favourite.

But what about that other regional jet, the B747SR used by JAL and ANA on heavilty-travelled domestic routes? :-?

The only regional jet I've been on is the Avro, that's why I would go for the RJ85/100 BUT my mind could change...

LOL - André :mrgreen:
BRU is becoming more and more an RJ airport but still no B747SR in sight :( ;)

Well, I have never been on a RJ but from the looks I have to say I like the BAe-146 series the most. Such a little plane with 4 engines. I love that. But all that could change, because tommorow I will be flying one of these on the HAM-RIX route! :dance: :thumbsup2:

I have to add that from a photo/video point of view, the ERJ is a superb little jet! I got some interesting footage of an example in Crossair livery in BRU last year, and the ones with the older British Midland livery look very smart.

Now that others have mentioned a favourite prop, I will do the same and go for the Fokker 50 - great fun to fly in, and its predecessor the Fokker 27 was wonderful as well. I was introduced to both these props whilst doing domestic flights in Iceland.

Here's an ERJ in older British Midland livery, I think this livery really suits the type.

Sorry Andre, I really don't know why there are such problems when I post pictures :( All I can suggest, as usual, is try right clicking on the empty box and then click on "show picture". It is working OK on my screen (just about the only thing that is on here tonight, it takes ten minutes to load one topic, sometimes this new browser is too slow :evil: )

Hi guys,
I must say that the new EMB190 looks so nice, but I am so surprise that it’s so large, never thought that it would look so large.
Embraer gave a “picture”(in words) of small plane with lots of seats so it would be more efficient then A318 and B727!
I guess they needed to add some strength to the plane to hold together.
