Smaller jets for feeder and regional service, such as the E-Jets, the CRJ and the Superjet.
Avro RJ100 / BAe 146-300
Avro RJ100
The Avro RJ100 is the longest version of the four-engine BAe 146 family – for years the workhorse of Crossair, Swiss and Brussels Airlines and now a rare visitor in the sky.
Avro RJ70
Avro RJ70
The Avro RJ70 is the modernized version of the BAe 146-100 – same short fuselage, new engines, digital cockpit. With only twelve built, it is the rarest production member of the whole Jumbolino family.
BAe 146 / Avro RJ85
Avro RJ85
High-mounted wing, four small engines, a T-tail and a tail cone that doubles as an air brake: the Avro RJ85 is one of the most distinctive regional aircraft ever built – and these days a genuine rarity.
BAe 146-100
BAe 146 Series 100
The BAe 146-100 is the shortest and oldest version of the British four-engine regional jet – the starting point of the whole Jumbolino family and, for decades, the aircraft of the Royal Family.
BAe 146-200
British Aerospace 146-200
High wing, four small engines, clamshell tail: the BAe 146-200 is the middle and most commonly seen version of the British four-engine jet. Today it flies mainly as a firefighting tanker over North America.
BAe 146-300
BAe 146-300QT
The longest version of the BAe 146 has around 100 seats, four engines and a high wing. As the quiet night freighter “Quiet Trader”, it still flies in Australia today.
Turbine-powered propeller aircraft for short routes and smaller airports, such as the ATR 42/72 and the Dash 8.
BAe ATP
British Aerospace ATP
Low wing, two six-blade turboprops, a swept vertical stabilizer: the BAe ATP was Britain’s last homegrown regional turboprop. Its longest career was as a night freighter with West Atlantic in Scandinavia.
BAe Jetstream 31/32
Jetstream 31
Small, slim, low wing and an unmistakably shrieking Garrett sound: for decades the Jetstream 31/32 was the feeder on Britain’s regional routes – and today it is a rare catch.
BAe Jetstream 32 (Super 31)
Jetstream Super 31
The Jetstream 32 is the stronger sister of the Jetstream 31: more power, more takeoff weight, same silhouette. Here you will learn how to place the JS32, where it flew and where you can still find it today.
BAe Jetstream 41
Jetstream 41
A slim low-wing aircraft with five-blade propellers, a cruciform tail and a wing that passes beneath the fuselage: the Jetstream 41 is the stretched 29-seat version of the Jetstream 31. Here is how to recognize it and where it still flies today.
Transports, tankers, trainers and combat aircraft. Seen mainly at military airfields, at airshows and as visitors at civil airports.
