Why no American operators of the BAE - 146?

Because BAE stands for "Bring Another Engine!" :laugh:

Say all you want, I loved it and miss it
But you're right, not very practical for airports around here, except Aspen. Lots of airports in the UK where it comes in handy...and the queen loves it.

Seeing how we burned almost as much fuel as an A-320 with less than half the people while flying over a tenth of a mach slower........
Great, comfortable airplane for the passengers and crew but other than flying to Aspen it wasn't practical in the USA.
But hey we were faster in cruise than the CE-500 and DO-328Jet.

I loved all the noises in the back when the flaps were extended. Wrrrrrrrrrrrrrr , clunk, rorrrrr, roooorrrrrr wrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr click click wrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Infrequent flyers were thinking they were going to meet their maker. But you have to hand it to the Brits they really over engineer stuff. Look at the Hawkers. That one EJA 800 took out a glider in Miden ( i think), and flew back to a runway. Poor Japanese guy had to parachute into the forrest.

I heard a conversion is being worked on. removal of the 4 apu's and hanging 2 CFM 56's in place.

It was definately the most comfortable "Regional Jet." I'm not sure of the specific dimensions, but I remember the seats being wider than the CRJ's/Erj's with a 3-3 configuration. I'd guess the fueselage was close in width to the 737. (?)
