$\begingroup$ Any type of information on what flight this was? Or source of the picture? $\endgroup$– selectstriker2Feb 14, 2020 at 14:42

$\begingroup$ The background is pretty clearly downtown New York; if nothing else, the Empire State building should be a dead giveaway. $\endgroup$– AEhere supports MonicaFeb 14, 2020 at 14:46

1$\begingroup$ That area in the photo is better described as Midtown South. Downtown is the collection of highrises just below the wing. -Skip Miller $\endgroup$– Skip MillerFeb 15, 2020 at 2:10

That's a US Airways Embraer E190
Here is another view of the E190 wing for comparison.

$\begingroup$ And sadly, CRJ production is winding down toward the end of this year so Embraer pretty much has the market all to itself, perhaps until the Mitsubishi RJ is certified. $\endgroup$– John KFeb 14, 2020 at 17:37

$\begingroup$ @JohnK not so much. The A2xx series from Airbus is what was previously the C-jet series Bombardier designed to replace the CRJ in production. $\endgroup$– jwentingFeb 18, 2020 at 4:59

1$\begingroup$ No the C series is a larger airplane and was not intended as an RJ replacement. It was a bridge between the Regionals and the smaller narrowbodies. The E jets pretty much have the 70-90 seat market to themselves notwithstanding minor players like Sukhoi. $\endgroup$– John KFeb 19, 2020 at 5:09
