Brazil

I have a new favorite small plane; the Embraer 145…can’t name another import from Brazil…..

The CRJ’s are still the worst thing on earth, and, for the most part, I’m doomed to be on them for the hops to most places.  But, the recent flights from Cincinnati to Charleston have been on the Embraer 145; it’s 2 seats on one side, one on the other, which is great, since it’s easy to avoid being next to someone and, the best part…..the windows are huge!  Compared to that crap-tastic CRJ, where they are small and you can’t see crap when you are on the ground, the Embraer’s windows have to be at least 1.5x bigger.

Air flow, another important feature on a small plane, is good.  Two thumbs up…more of these, less CRJ’s, and I’d be a happier flier.
