You can see the one that has a bit more grey on it.

Delta is finalizing a deal for up to 125 CSeries jets, according to sources at the Wall Street Journal.

Question that some of you may know the answer to.

Any reason why Air Canada flight AC619 from Halifax to Toronto on Sunday May 29 is listed as an A320 when you look at the booking screen (it's also an A320 on my itinerary) but when you click on the seat map, and according to Expert Flyer it's a Boeing 767?

Why the discrepancy? Any idea how often this happens?

I'd think an aircraft swap would be updated throughout the entire system.

Thrust vectoring FTW against the Super Hornet at the end.

Awesome vid, but that's an F-15 at the end.

Quoting myself, but apparently one of the CS100's is in the paint shop today and may come out with the Delta "Widget" on its tail tomorrow.

Sounds like this is a done deal.

Got caught staring at the square intakes and missed the straight up and down vert stabilizers.

Congrats to Bombardier on landing the Delta deal, very big deal for the CSeries:

So does this mean no more bailout for Bombardier is needed?

Hard to know for sure, keep in mind Bombardier is much more than just the aircraft, so they may still need money for other divisions too.

The good news about this Delta order is that it is from a major US carrier, it will probably cause other airlines to start taking a good hard look at the aircraft now.

Bombardier actually declined the last bailout offer, and has repaid a considerable amount of previous bailouts.

Maybe it would be more accurate to say the governments of Quebec and Ontatio are pushing for the feds to pony up $1b.

I was driving home from Falconridge at around 7:15-7:30PM and went up along 36 Street NE (the road right next to the airport, going north towards the tunnel). I saw a plane taxiing to the start of 17L, looked like a widebody (couldn't get a good look while driving). White fuselage and a red/maroon tail with a white streak that goes from the bottom of the tail to the top, with a plane or a bird at the end of the streak... I cannot for the life of me figure out what airline it was, I've never EVER seen it before. I've looked through Flightaware and Flightradar24 and found absolutely nothing...

Any idea why the NavCanada CRJ-200 would be flying loops in the air? It was doing that on my drive into work this morning above YQY?
