This is the CRJ700 operated by Comair, a Delta Connection. I'm in training now to fly the smaller version of this airplane, the CRJ200 ( which will be pictured below ). The CRJ series is very popular throughout the regional airlines. Obviously, this is a step up from the Beech 18 in every aspect except oil usage.
Don't get me wrong, the Beech 18 was a very good airplane to fly. It was one of those airplanes that taught you something just about everytime the round engines were fired up. I will miss my time operating that aircraft. But, look at this new aircraft, it's beautiful. Sleek, sophisticated and quick. What else can you ask for? So it is in the CRJ that I start my airline career. Here's hoping that it's long and prosperous.
On the left is the new destinations that I could potentionally be flying to in the future. I'll be starting my career out as a First Officer ( what used to be called the "Co-pilot" ). I can expect to hold that position for a number of years, until my seniority and the needs of my new airline allow me to move into the left seat.
I'm not exactly sure when I'll be able to actually fly the aircraft. I have a lot of training to get through between now and then. I'll try to make some regular updates to this site when I start flying.
Below are some more pictures of both the CRJ200/700. Enjoy.
