When it was first produced, the Brasilia attracted immediate interest from many regional airlines, particularly in the USA. The size, speed and ceiling allowed faster and more direct services around the US and Europe, comparared to similar aircraft. The first aircraft entered service with Atlantic Southeast Airlines in October 1985, after which the basic EMB-120RT was upgraded to the extended range (1,575 km or 850 NM) EMB-120 ER, with older aircraft retrofitted via a Service Bulletin.*
Our EMB 120s are repainted in Orbit Airlines colours by Stephen Hulme for Erick Cantu's excellent model. This can be downloaded from the Eagle Rotorcraft Simulations website. We hope you enjoy flying in our new plane.
