The other day my grad class went to Vancouver to take our grad picture in front of London Air Services' Challenger 604.

I never thought the challenger was this big! A person in front of it sure puts it in perspective. Nice shots!  :)

Is that a Challenger 800 in the last one?

The Challenger 604 is basically a short version of a CRJ-200.

Basically, but not quite. 604 is a shorter version of 800 or 800 is a longer version of 604, however you wnat to look at it. The 605 is out. Larger windows and various other improvements with fuel tanks, I think.

After reading what I wrote I suppose I should rephrase that, in order to create the CRJ-200 and subsequent family of regional jets, they took a Challenger and stretched it.   ;)  Now its just a matter of how lone they will go.  The CRJ-900 looks pretty oversized to me.
