A new plane!

Liveblogging from the Phildelphia Airport...

I just flew in the Embraer E190 for the first time( its new to me)

Nice plane, good layout, seats are comfortable. As a regional Commercial jet, it looks like a winner to me...

Now, Ive always given Embraer a fair amount of crap in the past, like saying that Embraer is Portugese for "Embolism" which is what you will get if you ever fly in one of their spam cans, but I have to give them a 'hats off" this time because the E190 is a very nice aircraft for that essential "less than 2 hour" marketplace.

I remeber when we used to make commercial jet airplanes in this country. Boy, those were the days...
