What's a Super Jet 100?

[Derf]

It is a huuuuge airplane with big round scary big rotating jet engines that go round and round with big strong pilots, flight attendents and peanuts silly!

and to think you run an aviation website! :wink:

[Derf]

....and the first person to correct me that they are not jet engines but high bypass turbofan engines gets a big yellow wet rubber chicken thrown in their direction!

[PhilDernerJr]

Fred, they are not jet engines but high bypass turbofan engines.

But seriously, does anyone have pics or other info about these?
