PICTURES: China's ARJ21 completes first flight (http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2008/11/28/319486/pictures-chinas-arj21-completes-first-flight.html)

Incidentally, what precisely is Chinese in ACAC ARJ21? It is mostly Mad Dog Trunkliner... and I think the wing is Antonov.

Dachang is an interesting place... shall ARJ21 show up in Paris? It did not fly by Zhuhai.

This link gives EIS date, with Shandong, by end of 2009. The export customers, I think, are GECAS and Lao Air.

The plane is delayed anyway: see
China aims for 21 September first flight of ARJ21 (http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2008/09/10/315783/china-aims-for-21-september-first-flight-of-arj21.html)

The 90-seat aircraft's first flight was originally scheduled for March

More delays. See:
China's ARJ21 faces further six-month delay in first delivery (http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2008/12/19/320328/chinas-arj21-faces-further-six-month-delay-in-first.html)

Mid-2010... this means, what two and a half years total delay?
