Oh great, the traffic up there will be sheer hell what with every geek with a camera wanting to be up there to capture it.

Here's a little more from the National Post:

Bombardier eyes CSeries maiden flight by Sept. 17 after key permit secured | Financial Post (http://business.financialpost.com/2013/08/30/bombardier-secures-test-permit-for-cseries-maiden-flight-expected-in-coming-weeks/)

Key phrase is "by Sept 17". So it could be earlier, but no later than, apparently, Sept 17. Assuming the weather is OK.

Very much looking forward to this.

Great quote in that article:

"The CS100 and CS300 planes are the first in the world to have the complete passenger jet assembled in one plant". :ugh:

Will not be this weekend, high speed taxi trails delayed due bad weather.
