It looks bigger in that picture!! More noticeable than the stretched forward fuselage is the rear, with the absence of a few portholes there...And the registration's the same number we saw, so there's no mistaking it...So I guess in this now global-economy, I suppose trans-con can almost be called "Regional," eh?!

Always a suprise with the winds down there -- and it sounded like they were testing for tailwind takeoffs, blasting off 19L. How do I get that job?! LoL
Lear and bombardier does do all their flight testing here and the cosswinds here aren't that bad. Bombardier has a position on their website or at least they did for Senior test pilot. I think all you needed was a type rating in at least one of their products which obviously you should qualify. Also check out Hawker Beech Craft they do a lot of testing as well out of ICT and beech field. Best of luck FL450 |
I remember seeing a CRJ700 back in 2000 and wondering the same questions.

And Boeing didn't think there was a market for the 717.
