It's an Embraer E190 isn't it? A sharp looking plane, which if I recall correctly they flew about NZ for a bit to try it out.

It's an Embraer of some sort, yes, but I'd have to go back to airliners.net (that's where I ended up) to find out which type

Cheers

Yup a 190 to be exact. they fly them every now and again on trans tasman routes, they also have some 170's as well. think metro on steriods, 2+2 seating quite long and narrow. one thing i noticed watching the 190 approach was that it seemed to have a higher angle of attack than everything else and it didn't seem to be affected by the wind as much, maybe better pilots

apparantly VB are still looking for the right route to use them on, as they don't quite fit the routes they are using them on at the moment (according to an article in an aviation mag here)
