I believe there are three prototypes flying out of the London, ON factory. The first two are the testbeds, the third one is 'conforming' for the certification process. C-GVLJ serial# 01 (with winglets) C-FPTM serial# 02 (the one in ATP livery with tail strakes) C-GUPJ serial# 03 ....all are blocked on flightaware

Username Protected wrote: Single engine jet  Then again the F-16 is a single engine jet  Reliability of turbofan engines is higher than turboprop engines. Most of that probably due to the elimination of the main gearbox. Also, from 25k, you can glide a long way, even if the fan goes quiet. If you don't want to cross oceans, this seems a reasonable compromise. And heck, a guy deadsticked an F16 into Elisabeth City a couple of years ago, it can be done  .
