I've flown a decent amount, I just never really paid attention to what the planes were.  I think I did fly in a CRJ before, just had no clue what it meant.

Just didn't realize they made planes because all you every see is complaints between Boeing and Airbus and such.

That and i didn't remember any canadian planes in Aerobiz Supersonic.  Fun game.


Boeing and Airbus are essentially the only names in major-contract areas for anything non-regional. A CRJ or Embraer are about 1/10th the price of a typical Airbus or Boeing jet.

Oh, and Aerobiz Supersonic was made in 1991. The CRJ maiden voyage was in 1991, and didn't enter service until 1992, and even then in very small numbers, so there was no way Koei would have known the future in that regard. Embraer is the same way - they didn't promote their turboprops or other regional jets 'till the mid 90s.

Nice reference to Aerobiz by the way. I am a huge fan of that game. In fact, I'm playing a game right now on my Android phone during my breaks/ect. Metlink (NYC) vs. UK Air (LON) vs. Sunrise (TOK) vs. Aussie (SDY) in my favorite 1955-1975 scenario.

Only issue is the 8 pages or so of unskippable copyrights at the start.

As for what I played... usually pretty similar actually, except i'd replace Aussie with a Californian or French based Airline.   Oceania feels a little isolated in earlier scenarios.
