This look like a ERJ to anyone else?

Hard for this earthbound misfit to tell. Just glad no one was injured. Kudos to the crew.

Yeah it's a CRJ. ASA doesn't have any Embrears.

You can tell it's a 200 by the nose gear doors.

Tearing up the fiberglass radome is one thing but that dent in the left engine inlet cowling (the anti-iced part) is something else. That's usually made out of tough stuff.

Surely this is an inside joke between Rickair and Jetpipe.....please tell me I'm reading this wrong and it's not an almighty ASA peeing contest because Rickair is one of the few on here that posts with maturity and factual knowledge based on experience 99.99% of the time without any flaming or "i'm better than you"
