Comair Canadair
CL-600-2D24 Regiuonal Jet CRJ900 N693CA
(c/n 15096)
Now stretched to accomodate 80 passengers,
the 900 series Bombardier regional Jet has little
similarity to
the original Canadair CL-600 Challenger business jet from which it was
evolved.
Comair
eventually acquired an astonishing 150+ of these Bombardier regional
range airliners
of
various marques. Ben Wang's nice shot above was taken at
Ft.Lauderdale-Hollywood
International Airport in January 2008 as this dash 900 was departing on
a flight back to hub
headquarters, Cincinnati's Covington Airport. Comair continues
(2008) to provide regional
service
for its parent, Delta Air Lines and, whenever I fly out of my own home
port of Raleigh/
Durham
(RDU) on Delta, it is invariably a Comair CRJ that I board.
