Embraer Legacy 500 - Who's Getting Them?

[johnsonrod]

I think the first customer order will be fulfilled in 2013. I heard that they are experiencing some "teething" issues with their FBW system. Should be a nice airplane with Pro Line Fusion and sidesticks...

Looks like it will compete with the CL300, G250 and probably the Citation TEN. Here's a nice review:

Anyone know of any orders in the US? I'd very much like to trade-in my current Embraer (ERJ) for this new one... :laugh:

Until they get a support network in place, this will be a tough sale. Mock up was very nice, but a clean sheet design with no support network will be a tough sale.

This is why Embraer is one of the bidders on HBC. For the Service Centers.
