A programming note for FlightBlogger for the remainder of this week. I'll be heading to Sao Paolo, Brazil this evening to visit Embraer in advance of EBACE 2008. I'll be covering the Phenom, Legacy and Lineage business jet product lines, tour the factories and speak with executives.

If you're not familiar with the business jet offering from Embraer, here's some good reading to get you caught up.

Phenom 100
Phenom 300
Legacy 600
Lineage 1000

I'm sure we'll also be hearing quite a bit about the new Midsize Light Jet (MLJ) and Midsize Jet (MSJ) which were announced last September as well.

Also, this is a country that takes its aviation VERY seriously. Just look how the capitol city is laid out. You might recognize the shape:

Lastly, I added a tour of the Legacy 600 that at the Singapore Air Show. Listen to the
audio tour here. Many high resolution cabin and flight deck pictures below the fold.
