Comair Canadair CL-600-2B19 Regional Jet
CRJ-100ER N821CA (c/n 7420)
In 1991 Comair
ordered its first pure jets and delivery of the first Canadair Regional
Jet was made
in 1993.
By that time the airline had reorganized into being a subsidiary of a
new parent company,
Comair Holdings,
Inc. Similarly, Canadair had became the core company of
Bombardier Aerospace
in 1986 and so
theoretically, these machines should be described as Bombardier
(Canadair), although
normal
nomenclature excludes the governing corporation in their
identity. Anyway, as previously
stated, Comair
had become a code-sharing partner with Delta Air Lines in 1984
and hence its first
CRJs were delivered
in dual markings, with "Delta Connection" on the forward fuselage and
Comair
across the fun
and rudder. Joe Osciak's shot above exemplifies the original
delivery in this shot of
N821CA departing
Philadelphia International Airport in September of 2006.
The Comair name
has lately
been repositioned on the nose although over the the years a
variety of different liveries has
been applied to
individual aircraft, an example of which is seen below in
this shot by Dan Brownlee at
Washington-Dulles in
January 2006, showing a CRJ100ER with a facsimile of the Cincinnati
skyline as
its
theme.
