The load music drowning out the engine noise was played by a band hired by Bob Deluce no doubt!For those not Canucks, its all about Toronto City Center Airport {or Billy Bishop field if you prefer} and Bob Deluce of Porter Airlines trying to get it into City Center over the protests of local Nimbys.
From this morning's maiden flight...
The C series test aircraft just took off from CYMX this morning (09:56 local) on its maiden flight... Congrats to Bombardier!
First takeoff...
First landing...
The test pilot reported after the flight that everything went very well with only one small technical issue that did not prevent them from carrying on for almost 2.5 hrs of flight testing.

It was all fun and games with the name calling and the jokes "Barbie jets" "Rice Rockets" "Jungle Jets" but these new generation mid size jets are for the first time posing a real threat to AB's & Boeing's most profitable and popular size...!
That is a nice looking A/C

I think this is worse for Airbus than for Boeing. The A320 is their meat and potatoes and offsets the likely never-to-be-recouped cost of the A380. The 777 has it all over the A340 and A330 and the 787, once debugged, is sure to have a huge advantage over the A350. Boeing can afford competition in the 737 sector but Airbus cannot in the A320 sector. It's good to have a third player again!

Always loved the build quality of the Bombardiers. Well done folks on designing another fine machine.
Just like Embaerer there must be an emerging sweet spot in the market for these size jets.
How do they compare in price/maintenance/performance to a turboprop of similar size?
