"By Sept 17th", Im tempted to ask "which year?" given the recent history of first flight delays at Boeing/Airbus et all! It takes a brave PR flunky to anounce anything in aviation these days, Sikorsky helicopters being the latest on the long list of delayed "in service date" to miss by five years!
The C series test aircraft just took off from CYMX this morning on its maiden flight... Congrats to Bombardier!
First takeoff...
First landing...

The music drowning out the engine noise was no doubt from a band hired by Bob Deluce! This will get the Nimby out on the streett again methinks!

Non sense!
The music was there so that people would know when it did take off (like a drum roll).
Saw the interview on-line while the aircraft was in flight with future customer including Douche I mean Deluce and I didn't realise he was that short... No wonder he as an inferiority complex.
