2 Videos: Recap Of The Bombardier CSeries First Flight (Sept 16, 2013)

 I was on the road driving back from Reno on Monday September 16, 2013 when the Bombardier CSeries narrow-body airliner made its first ever flight from Mirabel Airport near Montreal, Quebec. Between the road travel and the few days after recovering from white-line-fever, I didn't even know the flight had taken place until the end of the week. I'm a fan of this Canadian clean-sheet airliner so the first flight is a great thing to see... I hope you can watch these videos and respect the amazing amount of design, engineering, and construction effort that went into putting this great looking airplane into the sky.

 If you're interested in some of the first flight ceremony and the opportunity to hear several people speak in both English and French, then the video above that recaps the first flight is a good one. If your more interested in seeing some great in-flight views and no talking, then the just released video below is the way to go.

 Congratulations to everyone involved in getting the CSeries off the ground... Bravo Bombardier!
