August 1
I'm very excited about this. Should be great. :)
me too! plan on being ramp side too!
I spoke to AC LGA ops this afternoon to see of they knew of any 175 flights prior to Aug 1st. The gentleman I spoke with
said it would be here Saturday but was not sure what flight. Nothing is showing in Sabre availability so if it happens it
will probably be an equipment sub. I am leaving Thursday morning for AI2005 so I will be out of the loop. Please do not
spend all day Saturday at LGA and be upset with me if it does not show up as these things can change. Perhaps
someone at home can watch the flight trackers and report any inbound sighting to anyone at LGA,. My guess is it
would probably be on the YUL side.

That's a real pretty bird.
Ron, thanks for the heads up. I am sure Senga or one of his clones will know early that morning which flight this will be operating as, if any.
I second that. I like the new avatar, by the way...Quote:

You're not kidding.Quote:

They sell biz J/C seats on it, config'd 1-2 vs 2-2 in the back.

Well she is finally here Wednesday morning July 27 replaced a 319 on AC700 from YYZ arrived about 0815A,
turning 705 back to YYZ at 0845. Air Canada ops says it will be back twice more, tentatively on AC 708 ETA 1237 and
AC 718 at 1739L. More info when I have it.

Well the AC 175 is on its way again operating delayed AC708 from YYZ.. It is showing about an hour late with an ETA of 1338L
but the first arrival was about 15 mins earlier than what showed in AC flifo which I can access due the
Star Alliance connection. The return Is AC 713 at 1330 to YYZ showing delayed to 1400L LGA is currently
landing 22 and departing 13.
LGA777
Well due to a large line of Thunderstorms between YYZ and LGA AC appears to have cancelled most of there
flights between the above cities for the rest of today so I don't think the 175 will make a third visit to LGA today. Bummer !
i did get some mediorce backlit shots in the haze this morning, will post on here late tonight or in the morning, going to
be a VERY LONG day for me.
I did confiirm that AC 700 this morning YYZ-LGA was the first E175 revenue flight ever for Air Canada
and as they are the first 175 operator that should make it the first E175 actual passenger carrying flight
in the WORLD !!! Kind of cool I'd say.
Regards
LGA777
DAMN!! once again the good stuff comes in when i'm not around. ah well. i do feel honored that LGA is part of the first revenue flight for a new a/c... just wish i could have seen it!
That is one good looking plane!
I like!

Hey, Mikey likes it! (some of you may be old enough to know what I'm referring to... :) )Quote:

I also see the first thee AC arrivals this morning from YYZ arrived with in about 10 mins of one another operating with a 319,763, and 321. Impressive !
LGA777
Well it's Friday 7-29 so far the E-175 is doing AC 700-703 YYZ-LGA-YYZ due out of LGA at 0845L. My guess is it will be back later, will try and keep everyone posted.
LGA777
Well its Friday afternoon 7-29 and the E-175 is enroute to LGA for the third time today, operating AC718 ETA LGA 1748L turning AC 723 back to YYZ at 1830L. LGA is landing 22 departing Rwy 13.
Regards LGA777
she definately is a good looking plane. even better up close!! the paint is simply cool!!
On the AC website, AC has three flights listed as EMB175s for today.
The first will be AC700, arriving in at around 0754.
The second will be AC708, arriving in at around 1237.
And finally, the third will be AC718, arriving in at around 17:39.
I'm heading out to LGA now (only got 4 hours of sleep.. :shock: ) so hopefully I'll be able to catch the 0754 arrival.
The second 175 F/N 372 overnighted at LGA and departed at 0655 to YULon AC 741.Would not be surprised to see this aircraft today (Sunday) operating on the YUL side.
