Embraer 190-ovitch

We used to call them Aeroplop, although their Trans-Atlantic service on 767s was not too bad.

Ever fly Cubana? They flew a/c they were too old for Aeroflot!

Having worked on there version of a Trans-Atlantic Jet Liner the IL62M there carbon copy of the VC10 but as usual they did not steal the weight and balance an had to add a Tail Wheel to it...Many times we filled there H2O with degerm instead of the toilets all ids were in Russian. Had to go up on them twice at Pan Ams World Port and was stopped by a lady in PAN AM WHITE COVERALLS that I was wearing an she wanted to know where was the air cond they had none.....Galleys had used 1937 Nash Kelvinator Refrigs in them with electric frying pans to cook the food no micro waves on board all toilets were ceramic ala 1927 USA....An you wonder why they crash? The belly areas had 2 inch thick beaver board for floor boards. No nets so bags bounced all over the place???????
