Remarks: Two demonstrators resting before they depart SYD... note the A380 in the background. The Embrarer will become a common site in Australia with Virgin Blue purchasing a few of its type, The A380 also with Qantas expecting its first of its type in 2008.
Remarks: Just departing from Mexicana de Aviación Maintenance facilities for a demo flight to Oaxaca for Click. Thanks to Embraer Crew and representative, as well as Mexicana de Aviacion and MRO services.
Remarks: A gentle climb out by this stunning beauty to Senai Airport in Johor after having been on the ground for days. She would make a couple more shuttles between Senai and Changi before eventually arriving in Subang Airport in the afternoon. Hope to see some of these more often to break the monotony of Boeing and Airbus parades so commonly seen here!
Remarks: Returning back to Canberra after our demonstration flight for Virgin Blue. I must thank the Embraer crew for giving me the chance to view the cockpit while in flight.
Remarks: Embraer's 190 demonstrator's reflection in the windows of the Virgin Blue Lounge as it waits at Gate 32 at the Virgin Blue terminal before departing on a demonstration flight.
