One of Skywest's Embraer E175s in Delta Connection colors decelerates after touchdown on 16R at SeaTac. This aircraft, N290SY, was delivered to Skywest in October 2018. ⠀ ⠀ The E175 is slightly longer than the baseline E170 that entered service first in 2004. The E170 seats about 72 passengers in single class configuration and is 29.9m/98ft long while the E175 pictured here seats about 78 in single class configuration and is 31.7m/104ft long.⠀ ⠀ The E170 is no longer in production- it has been replaced by the E175SC (Special Configuration). An E175SC is just an E175 that is fitted with 70 seats to comply with US scope clauses- the added space is then devoted to the premium cabin while giving operators the flexibility to convert the aircraft to E175 later on should the need arise (which would really just be a cabin reconfiguration). The E175SC also has all the performance improvements of the E175 line as well.⠀ ⠀ #avgeek #aviation #aircraft #planeporn #KSEA#SEA#Seattle #SeaTac #Washington #airport #planespotting #instaplane #Embraer #E175 #Skywest #DeltaConnection #DeltaAirlines #N290SY #instagramaviation #splendid_transport #instaaviation #aviationlovers #aviationphotography #flight #AvGeeksAero #AvgeekSchoolofKnowledge #AvGeekNation (at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac)) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7FW-7nB2-A/?igshid=7813i8zuol2v
