Taking a quick look at the satellite photo there are 43 ERJ's (145?) too on that airfield.. http://goo.gl/maps/60pkm
A closer look at some of these as from April 2013 -

There are conversions for the ERJ135 / 145 according to Modstore.

https://www.modstore.aero/modificati...as_70__70__70_

but I wonder with CRJ beeing available and also cheap, if the cross section of the ERJ vs the CRJ (standing straight option) won't make VIP conversion of those ERJ's even harder.



Are maintenance / operating costs of the ERJ's significant lower?

I think this lot have had a longer operational life than the DC-7s and L-1649s built in 1956-58 that were immediately overtaken by jets, and dumped.

Who knows, they may have been stood on the very ground in the desert where the RJs are now.

Just spotted a CRJ-100 on Flightradar24 going from Minsk to Berlin..







Is there any software that can calculate the efficiencies of running certain types of aircraft on particular routes?
I would have thought these smaller aircraft would be ideal for the shorter routes, or island hopping. Routes such as Isle of Man to London obviously don't require A380s.
