CRJ 900 In ATL

[av8erab]

There was an all white, new looking CRJ 900 in ATL last night that departed to Dothan, AL late. It was just after 11:00pm when it took off for DHN.

The aircraft looked like it had Canadian registration and had a non US sounding pilot on the radio.

What was it doing in ATL and why did it leave so late to DHN? Pemco is located in DHN.

Makes ya wonder.

Anyone else heard anything?

It had the two cargo bin doors up front. Isn't this only on the 900.

Also, it really looked like a 900.

did it have two overwing exits on each side?

Don't know but I am basically 100% sure it was a 900.

I even think I heard them call it a 900.

If it is in the ATC system filed as a 700 that makes it even more interesting.

It could be the 705 which is the 900 body. It could also be a true 900, one of Mesa's getting a paint job/seating change over from America West to the new USAirways...ahh who know's.

That's funny, I was driving down the Loop Road 10 minutes ago and saw it taxi into position on 8R. It is going back to Montreal.

Interesting that the regi shows its a 700, it most definitely had 2 overwing exits and 2 forward cargo. We were a few behind it last night, I just knew it would be posted in here...
