Air Canada E-190 LGA Ops Update

[LGA777]

Hello Everybody, as many of you know AC has been subbing almost all the 190's scheduled for LGA with 175's. 319's. 320's even a 321 once. I can't tell you how many days in the last few weeks I have come to working hoping to get my first 190 shot and maybe the first 190 LGA shot on the web. I only saw one once, on Christmas day in Horrible weather with no chance for a photo. Well yesterday and today both (1-4/5) the 190 actually operated as scheduled so maybe whatever was wrong is fixed, I believe there are 3 in service.

For Friday 1-6 the 190 is showing it's normal 1630 departure and no ops are shown for Saturday. But for this Sunday 1-8 3 are scheduled arriving at 1340, 1540, and 1740 departing at 1430, 1630, and 1830. The first one and last one are probably the same aircraft. ! I hope some of you can get some shots, I finally got my first today !

Cheers

What's "1-8 3"?

Sorry Phil, forgot a comma, Matt is correct, on Jan 8th, 3 190's are scheduled.

saw it for the first time today, it's a pretty big airplane compared to the size of the 170. looks good though...

Air Canada is to be getting one more EMB-190 Tomorrow or this week. I am sure you will see more and more of them once they start getting more and more this year. They are nice though PTVS with AVOD and 34"pitch in Y. I love AC, such a great airline :D

Checked FlightAware as soon as I got home today, and AC714 was inbound as an E190.

Here's a ****ty ISO200 shot from my roof of C-GWEN on the Expressway Visual to 31 at 3:27pm:

Nice catch Brian! I'd love to catch her this weekend at LGA but the weather looks worse and worse.

[PhilDernerJr]

Wow, pretty shot, Brian. AC's scheme is gorgeous on that thing.

Great shot Brian! I'm getting more and more to liking these 190's - seeing them pretty much every day here in PBI (with jetBlue) - think I need to visit my sister later this year in BOS! :)

[LGA777]

Brian, I agree with Phil, great shot. This bird was under my care for about 15 mins today as her gate was occupied for about 15 mins after she landed, so I kept her on Zulu-Alpha where I could keep my 4 eyes on her, as I was watching her from behind with her little sister (E-175) on Gate A-6, I noticed how much bigger the 190's wingspan was, at least in appearance, than the E-175.

On a side note AC had a minor schedule change today and the three CRJ200's to YOW switched back to Jazz again, today/tonight we got a Green one and a Red one, sweet !

Cheers

Thanks for the comments, guys.

Ron, I'm still waiting for the day when I hear you (and your four eyes :P) on my scanner...did they tell you I said "Hi"? I shouted it as loud as I could when they passed over. :)
