[plugs313]

I'm with Air Transat...you with Cree?

[jmr604]

No.. but I know most of those guys.. I'm from Moose Factory.. I'm doing the bush flying thing right now.

This airplane has a bigger wingspan than a 737-200!

[jmr604]

Yep.. Boeing 737-200's wingspan is 93ft.. the HS748 is 102ft 5in .. but the 737-200 is 11ft taller and 63ft longer. ;) Not a whole lot bigger.
