So, I dunno if this is big news or anything; but the little company I work for has just had a succesful first take off of it's C-Series FTV1. It seems as though i'll have a job to come back to when I'm back from holidays

mind you, it's still in the air :pac:

Spoiler Alert:

The Companies name is Bombardier Aerospace

good stuff, who's the launch customer?

Gulf or Swiss most likely.

The live feed is heavily in French, which I can barely understand anymore and even less when its Quebecois. Airbus who *are* French provide more English language content than this!

Also, I forgot that they'd be pronoucing Bombardier properly / not the way I'm ever used to hearing it. Sounds very strange.

Lovely looking yoke that, just seen the vid...

Nice to see it fly after all the headaches it caused me when we were doing stuff related to it! (No, I don't work for Bombardier, but we did our bit!

)

This is definitely news....I knew they had pushed it back a bit. Great to see this in the air.
