Photo Friday: Three of a kind


We don't see that many of the small regional jets at LAX these days. The 70-seat CRJ-700 is common in American Eagle, United Express, and Delta Connection colors. Coincidentally, in all three cases the flights are operated by SkyWest. We also have CRJ-900s (76 seats), but only in Delta Connection paint -- but still using the SkyWest callsign. In this shot, however, we have a trio of CRJ-200s. SkyWest operates these as well; witness the paint on the third one in line. All of these are flying for United Express. The three of them together have less passenger capacity (50 passengers each, for a total of 150) than the China Eastern B777 (316).
