The maximum speed noted in the info box top-right and the cruising speed in the characteristics don't agree.

I was passing through Calgary airport in Alberta, Canada earlier today and noticed about a dozen of these planes parked off to one side of one of the taxiways, all without identifying livery. Does anyone know why? Have they been withdrawn from service in N. America recently? Or is someone in Calgary trying to corner the market? --Rich 15:41, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Looks like I found the answer myself: http://www.smiliner.com/news/2005.shtml (Jazz retires its BAe 146s)

1 Avro 146 or Jumbolino
2 Lufthansa operates RJ85, not -300
3 Four engines?
4 HS 146 in Shetlands in Dec 1981 ?

[edit] Avro 146 or Jumbolino

On a Spiegel webpage, I stumbled on the term Jumbolino (said to be used by Prince Philip at the airfield of Barth (Germany)), but Wikipedia had no infos. It seems this models is meant. Coincidentally, I've seen one a few days ago. Four jet engines on a small plane is remarkable, considering that A300s and B767s have only two. --Matthead 12:38, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

The term "Avro 146" is also used by official institutions, while Jumbolino is e.g. used by SwissWorldCargo and newspapers. See Google counts.

I understand that Jumbolino is a marketing name only used by the swiss airline Crossair (later Swiss Air Lines)MilborneOne 19:19, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Various sources refer to it as Avro 146 and/or Jumbolino. That's a fact and not a matter of discussion. If readers want to find out about the plane, they should be confirmed that they've found the right one. --Matthead 23:01, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lufthansa operates RJ85, not -300

Lufthansa doesn't operate the -300 series, but the RJ85 series. The -300 series corresponds with the Avro RJ100, which Lufthansa doesn't operate.

Could someone please correct that? Regards, Flying Finn.

[edit] Four engines?

Somebody should explain why this small plane needs more engines than some bigger ones. --Cancun771 20:08, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] HS 146 in Shetlands in Dec 1981 ?

I have a memory of seeing a HS 146 in what looked like British Airways colours (red white & blue) low over the Shetland Islands, looking like it had just taken off, in December 1981. It was unmistakable with its wing and engine arrangement and was getting a lot of publicity at the time, as was known as HS, not BAE. Was it flying as the HS-146 before it gained certification as the BAE-146 ? Or could this flight been part of the certification program - certainly island-hopping was the sort of thing it was designed for. Or am I going senile ? Rcbutcher 02:40, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
