Yesterday I traveled from London City airport to Rotterdam The Hague (EHRD, Netherlands of course). Again it was a British Airways/ BA Cityflyer flight, this time in an Embraer ERJ-170-100STD, G-LCYE. This is a cool little aircraft, and certainly the smallest turbofan aircraft I've ever flown in.
While waiting for the flight I got a number of photos, including a Dassault Falcon 8X, F-WWQA. This aircraft is the first every 8X built, is owned by the manufacturer and was here on a test flight [I'm guessing to certify for steep approaches?]. The first I saw of it, it was overshooting, followed by a landing a few minutes later. Nice!

A type I am very unfamiliar with, and an airline I had not seen before is up next. This is a Donier 328-100, HB-AEO. This is operated by SkyWork Aviation. I have seen a Dornier 328 once before, in 2009 in Salzburg, Austria.

Last up is my ride to Rotterdam, a Bristi Airways/ BA Cityflyer Embraer ERJ-170-100STD, G-LCYE. These are an awesome looking small jet, and reasonably comfortable [although reasonably cramped] for the 45 minute flight.
