@BBD_Aircraft has issued a corrected version of its Aug 1 Q400 news release after I pointed out to @Bombardier the mistake it made. It now says the Q400 is "the first in-production commercial turboprop in the world to reach" 90-seat certification. "In-production" is crucial!

BIG mistake in @BBD_Aircraft news release today claiming the Q400 is "the first commercial turboprop in the world to reach" 90-seat certification. Oh yeah? What about the CL-44 built by @Bombardier ancestor Canadair, Tu-114, Vickers Vanguard, Bristol Britannia & Lockheed Electra?
