Brazil’s Embraer took a brand-spanking-new Legacy 650 on a demonstration tour of the Eastern U.S. last month to show the airplane’s updated cabin and specifically the better soundproofing, revised layout, materials and in-flight entertainment system. The large-cabin twinjet’s visit to Teterboro coincided with the NBAA Regional Forum there on June 7 and Embraer invited several media people, including two AIN editors, on a “dinner aloft” with three Embraer marketing staff.
