Funny thing is I have never flown an RJ as I was a KC-135 pilot prior Delta. I guess being in my 40s and looking like I'm in my 20s is not best with this group...

So do RJ pilots really pop it off the runway, or is that just a rumor?
I sure didn't....nor did anyone that respected the history of the CRJ. As BB said, the CRJ 200 has quite the scary wing. Gently rotate and she'll fly when she's ready!
