Kicking off the summer flight reports with this first one from Champaign to Dallas! This is a near two-hour flight onboard American Eagle's ERJ-145 which is the only aircraft type in the entire fleet lacking power outlets and WiFi. I just so happened to be able to fly onboard the sixth-oldest E145 and regional jet in the entire fleet, N606AE which was 23 years old at the time of this flight! Age is just a number, it has no correlation to how an aircraft can perform. An older aircraft is just as safe as a brand new one...people need to realize that instead of bashing airlines for flying older planes!
This will be the first of five videos coming from the Dallas/Chicago day trip which I took on June 22nd. The next flight review will be onboard the American 787-9 from DFW to Chicago coming next Monday, stay tuned :D

Best aircraft in the sky! Love the EMB145!
I learned about your channel through AVGAS channel. Thank you very much for the great video about this veteran Embraer ERJ-145.
I'm brazilian and I came thtough the Avgas channel. I loved your report about the ERJ 145. Like we say here in portuguese, desejo a você muito sucesso para o seu canal (I wish you so much success for your channel). Thanks a lot ✈️
That E145 is great - I love the seat layout and seat comfort even despite the cramped/semi-claustrophobic cabin height. The single bathroom in the back is the most comfortable in the industry (lol).
Wonderfull... I came through the AVGAS channel
I came through the AVGAS channel...Great report and very nice o see the EMBRAER ERJ-145LR - N606AE - always flying. A great plane that will still fly around a lot. :o)
Cheguei pelo canal AVGAS.
Me too
NIce job "AS Aviation"....................... I came through the AVGAS channel.
They might be outdated but they are fun planes to fly. Nice little rocket ships that are comfortable once you’re sitting down. 🙂
For sure, for the younger generation they might find this annoying but they truly are pretty cool little planes.
I was flying on one of these about 10 years ago between DSM and ORD. We hit severe weather and found a downdraft with a microburst. We dropped 3,500 feet in about a second. The plane and crew handled it superbly.
I’m only 29 and love my WiFi, but I can understand why they haven’t done it on board. But safety is paramount.
Excellent trip report! I love the extra details like how they only taxi on one engine. That really makes for an interesting video. Thanks!
Thank you so much! It's truly a unique feature of the 145 :D
Incredible and in depth trip report, really looking forward to the next one!
Thank you bro, will work to get the next one out ASAP!
One of my favorite planes of all time, even though its a pain to fly. great vid and much love
Sitting in it at first feels very cramped, but it's still a dope plane to fly! Thanks a lot dude!
As usual an absolute class trip report! Love seeing that Jet bridge swing around to the second plane at CMI, I don't know how long the ERJ-145 will stay in AA's fleet but if it's anything above 5 more years I'd say it would be worth adding wifi, personally I still look through the magazines so I think AA are making a big mistake, on top of that I know quite a few people (mainly the older generation) that would prefer to read through something, rather than watch or even read something on a screen
Thanks a lot Joe! Yeah the jetway move they do here is quite cool. I've heard rumors of the 145's leaving the fleet soon but no one has confirmed anything.
AA A&P here the ERJ will be staying for awhile and no it will not get wifi
Congratulations, great report,I came through the AVGAS channel
Amazing stuff man love you !!!!!!!
I came through the AVGAS channel. 😃👍
I saw your video on Avgas channel, Thanks for sharing the video!
I came through the AVGAS channel. Congratulations!!!!
I love how the gates can move between different parking stands. I'd love to fly to CMI one day.
Indeed it’s such a cool quirk of this airport. Always welcome here, let me know when you end up giving us a visit!
Nice video! Getting excited for my first E145 flight in 2 weeks’ time. Flying into Philadelphia from Heathrow, then down to Greenville, SC from there. We don’t have many regional jets over here in Europe so it’s always a great getting to tick off some new a/c types on my US trips!
From Brazil to your Channel, by Avigas Channel. Congratulations.
Congrats on the video. Saw it from “AVGAS” channel. Already a fan of this Brazilian beauty!! 23 years on duty and going on!!!
First time on your channel, very nice report with special emphasis on the American Way magazine.
Also, Go ILLINI!
I watched this vídeo in the AVGAS Channel, very beatiful, congratulations.

Lindo vídeo.
I came through the AVGAS channel.
Amazing trip report mate!! Its always cool to see old aircrafts no matter how many times they have been refurbished they have a classic vibe to them
I came through the AVGAS channel. God bless you so much.
Avgas Channel in Brazil has left the link tô here. Very Nice content
I came through the AVGAS channel, very nice
I came through the AVGAS channel....congratulation.
I came through the AVGAS channel thank you brothers USA
🇧🇷I came through the AVGAS channel
Great video congratulations, Brazilians are very proud of EMBRAER 🇧🇷
Thank God, you got there safely.
I came through the AVGAS Chanel!! 🤗
Excellent video! What a beautiful day! Personally I do not believe that it’s worth it for American to retrofit these 145s considering their EAS planes on some routes and towards the end of their life cycle, even though it would be nice addition I feel like American needs to focus on other areas of their fleet. Really appreciate your remarks about older aircraft are perfectly good if you take care of them, that was awesome. E satellite looking great as well, I thought that Spirit and maybe United may have used that in the past before AE took it over in 2019 but it’s been a while lol, inside looks good on it! Great Trip Report!
I came through the AVGAS channel
Nice
greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷🇺🇲✈️
I love 💞 the interesting 🤔 halo affect fact that you shared I never knew that. You should get paid for making such informative and in depth reviews
I came through the AVGAS channel!!!
At 13:12 the airport is Dallas Addison airport (KADS) I have been to that airport and have seen it while flying
That's correct.
Hello!! as an American Airlines employee for any future flight reports, the departure time is supposed to be gate departure only therefore if the departure is at 7 and the main cabin door was closed at 6:59 and you don't takeoff until 7:13 technically departure was on time because the door closed before departure time. Many people don't know this so I thought id just share my knowledge!
Nice to hear from you sir! Yes, I was told this on another video of mine and from all trip reports from last year March 2022 onwards, I made that change to reflect the timeliness better.
A great video and lovely little aircraft. I did read somewhere that the ERJ-145's don't have thrust reversers. Maybe I'm wrong but I'm sure I did read that somewhere. Where I live in Southampton in the UK I see them everyday as they are operated by the Scottish airline Loganair.
It is outdated, but I really like the ERJ145. I live in LYH and that is what American (Piedmont) flies into this station 5-6 times a day with connecting service in CLT. GREAT vid. I like the information and the fact you film the ENTIRE takeoff and landing! Thanks! So many other airline bloggers speed that part up and it is annoying (for me). Thanks again.
My pleasure, happy to see your comment! I agree, it's a perfect plane for what its use is.
I Came through the AVGAS channel.
I came here because AV Gás channel from Brazil!
I came here because AV gás chenel Brezil Pará!!
The Glory shot is so cool!
Indeed :D definitely unique!!
Did my graduate degree at U. of Illinois-Urbana and got to fly out of CMI on an American Eagle ATR-42 once. Had a lot more airlines back then: American Eagle, US Airways Express, TW Express, and Northwest Airlink. Those two years were great and I loved living in Champaign - thanks for showing CMI! I also flew in and out of CMI waaaay back in 1985 on Piedmont - was a tiny airport back then...
Amazing, I’m currently at UIUC! Can’t imagine how cool CMI must have been back in the day. When I was growing up I briefly got to experience the days of Northwest and Delta and some United in 2018.
I'm due to fly to Quebec City from Phila on that model of plane this coming June. I was nervous about it being a codeshare (American Eagle instead of actual AA) given that programme about flights on PBS Frontline from a while back.
Let's go!
13:19 that's Dallas Addison
That is correct!!
I got it right to
I have had good memories there at KADS
i came from the AVGAS channel
I personally love the sound of the hydraulic system.
Great trip report. It must be fun flying a classic aircraft.
Erj 145 is very beautiful jet, i like them 99.99 except the control yokes hahaha
I watched your video show on AVGAS channel.
I see with the retirement of the 140s and the CLT flight having to go to the 145 that the route transitioned from Envoy to Piedmont. You will not see wifi installed onto a 50 pax single cabin aircraft. The routes they typicly fly make it impratical. The large RJs (CR7,CR9,E75) can fly legs up to 4 hours (DFW-GEG off season). They also have first class cabins so the "seamless service" concept is more of an issue for the premium pax.
Hi guys!!!
"I came through the AVGAS channel".
Seeing you were at CMI at 530am,really surprised you have that much daylight going on-Here in SE Texas,its still dark,sunrise comes around 6am. I'm sure it has to do with the curvature of the Earth.Glad you mentioned about American Way. I believe it came out twice a month,1st-15th,another edition 15th-31st.Being old-school and not familiar with IFE technology,I will miss the magazine. Surprised to see one of the 145's taxiing to the gate at CMI,would think it would be cheaper to have it towed,thereby saving fuel.The 145's are over 20yrs old,I don' think it makes sense to spend millions to retrofit them for wifi and power sockets,wouldn't be surprised if retirement is on the horizon. Routing-wise it seems ridiculous to fly south to DFW,only to fly back north,past CMI to reach ORD! And yes,AE does need to bring back inflight service--a coffee with cream would be perfect for CMI-DFW! BTW,what is that pin on your shirt as you were introducing this trip report?
Being further north in the summer helps. Also, Illinois is on the far eastern end of the central time zone, so their sunrises are earlier than the rest of the time zone. Having grown up in Indiana (on the western end of the Eastern Time zone), it's the opposite for us!
Beautiful Brazilian plane!
Waiting for the American Airlines B787-9 trip report 😁
Working on it now, hoping to get it out next Monday!
I come throught the Avigas channel.
Great trip report! Unfortunately, big carriers don't operate regional routes. Those are up to the regional airlines. In this case, Envoy takes care of this plane. American only plays a small part in regional aircraft IFE but a huge part in regional operations. (Sum of the story. IFE is run by the regional airline and other third parties. The major carrier runs and funds their operations.) (Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) :D
Considering this is a regional jet, ticket prices and the short legs why do you need wifi or power? Especially the wifi isn't economically feasible for these a/c. Bring your own power bank. You aren't flying a major.
It looks like a jet version of EMB-120.
I can feel all the people who ask for a better in flight entertainment and wifi. But no matter where I've flown so far, I always aim for window seat and always look outside like its first time I'm hauling ass at 37000feet with 0.78 mach. There is always something to see from up there, be it the crazy clouds or the world below if the sky is clear. Or the deep blue of the sky above, hoping for the time when we will be able to fly up there with the same ease.
Drop your device and look around a bit
Flying to dallas from ORD soon with 737 and 787!
Awesome! I'll have the 787 video up next week!
Great!

And I thought that some of American's LUS A321s and their A320s are ourdated. I know that their A321s are going through Project Oasis, but they still have some A321s to refurbish, whereas Oasis is conplete for their 737s.
The LUS birds all were retrofitted to have WiFi and power outlets, and yeah they are also going through the Kodiak retrofit which is basically Oasis 2.0.
@@ASAviation This webpage says that some A321s still remain though

Who doesn’t love a clapped out ERJ145
👏👏
The flight time is; from door close, too door open en the Embraer 145 is a excellent plain for short tin route's
That’s Addison airport!
Skywest and mesa airways provides the CRJs
AS Aviation I'm now taking over this ERJ-145.
No Worries No Copyright. It's just a takeover. No Problems to Report.
To: Air Canada Express
Envoy owns those the ERJ 145s and not AA the aircraft not having wifi doesn't mean it's out dated
My Fav small jet…. I don’t need wifi, or pax screens. No mention of the seats being wider then on most 737s?
They are small haul jets, not long haul..
I love the 145, I grew up flying it so there's no way I hate the jet. I didn't know the seats were wider however upon looking at it the width is 17 or so inches. The 737's vary from 15.8 to 17.8 inches in seat width so that's definitely very substantial, thanks for bringing that up.
You are right about never judging an airline because of the aircraft's. age. As they say never judge a book by its cover.
i don't get WiFi on many planes lol
No WiFi, no power? So like every European short haul flight?
I say that’s unfair to compare this with European short haul. For example, European short haul business class is not even comparable to American short haul business. So in this case, the services offered onboard the E145 are not comparable to other short haul regional jet flights in the USA. You can’t compare this product that services short US routes with another country because they’re not competing in the same market.
I work at Philadelphia International Airport and I do wheelchair service. I hate doing an aisle chair on that plane
American Airlines should either retrofit their Embraer 145s to provide in flight entertainment like Southwest (BYOD) with no power outlets
Better rhan a turboprop? Yes! Single seat row, big windows. Wat else you can by now?.50 pax.
No Wi-Fi….Wow Put Your I-Pad Down For An hour and enjoy the ride
ERJ-145's are going to be phased out soon. Their airframes are aging and should be done in the next year or so. The fleet and replaced with Envoys ERJ-175's thankfully.
I've heard rumors of them leaving within the next few years, but considering so many of them are aging fast it's time for them to leave soon. The 175 is a way better replacement, sadly it doesn't have the cool 1-2 layout in economy but still a much cooler plane.
They are actually good safe jets though
Delta is one of the top 10 commercial airline's and the 5th largest in the World. With that being said you can imagine the huge AMOUNTS of responsibility and obligations that they have. Delta currently owns over 2,156 aircrafts and leases over 200 with some of them being lease to own. Delta has consistently upgraded their fleet especially after they accumulated Northwest Airline's Fleet. You cannot expect them to make EVERY AIRCRAFT STATE OF THE ART,while keeping things affordable at the same time. Plus on top of it the aircraft you were on is ONLY used for short commuter flights such as yours ( plus you've would've been able to have read a description of you're aircraft on Delta's webpage prior to your flight,which mentions lack of Wi-Fi and in seat outlets) Plus there's an old saying that you get what you pay for. I'm not trying to criticize you, for you really didn't complain you're just trying to be informative. Just offering my opinion
I come through the avgas chanel
American should invest in this.
Having flown the E145 for 15 years you cannot be further from the truth.
