I heard today from a reliable source that Nat Jet will have a emb170 here some time in the new year for Trials.If soo this would be a better idea than buying 12 of them and finding you need kingairs to fly up the rear with the bags.
Anyone seen any pics of the 170 that did a wheels up in Brazil?If soo ,would like to see them.
Cheers and Happy Days

You may be interested to know that an Embraer press release was headed "Our latest big idea is now wheels up". This was to announce the first flight of the Embraer 175. (Ref. Air Transport World)

Not long after the wheels up landing took place, how ironical.

I presume you are critical of the 'small' locker volume with your ref to the King Air backing up the Embraer. If so, what do you expect for the low $ cost in a 4 abreast cross section. The Dornier 728 was a much better a/c but a lot more $$'s.
