Bombardier CS300 takes off for 1st test flight

Took off at 11:00AM - trackable on FR24 as BBA507.

Congratulations to Bombardier!

It is interesting that the chase plane was a CRJ 1000 painted in American Airlines livery. I wonder if that foreshadows a big order for CSeries from American Airlines is in the works?

Nice to see an aviation company in Canada actually flourishing . DL ACRFT> INSP> RET.

Are they test flights in Salina KS?

Sorry about that question. Are they test flying in an out of Salina KS? That Aircraft was buzzing my house for two days. Beautiful plane.

Nice

Going over to Salina Regional Airport today. If that CS 300 fly's over today I want picture's.

Bombardier is in need of moral support and financial support
from all Canadians. This is a manufacturer born and bred in
Canada, and we need to take a greater interest. Bombardier
could rank as one of the worlds best in the field of aviation.
Now is the time to buy their shares. This CS series is going
to make them a lot of money.

Congrats to Bombardier and the engine supplier Pratt & Whitney!!

Bombardier make some great aircraft, the old Dash 8 series is a good reliable, relatively fast & comfortable workhorse for the shorter milk run type routes.
