- HISTORY ASPECTS:
- The Bombardier CRJ-200LR became one of the defining regional jets of the late 1990s and 2000s - bringing jet-powered service to smaller communities that previously depended on turboprops or larger mainline aircraft. Based on the Canadair Regional Jet family - the CRJ-200 featured efficient General Electric CF34 turbofan engines - a 50-seat cabin - and the extended-range capability of the CRJ-200LR. Its combination of speed - operating economics - and relatively short-field performance made it particularly well suited to regional airline networks in the United States.
- Air Wisconsin was one of the most important regional airline operators in the American Eagle system. Founded in 1965 - the Wisconsin-based carrier built a long relationship with major airlines by providing connecting service from smaller cities into larger hub airports. Under the American Eagle brand - Air Wisconsin operated numerous regional routes using aircraft that connected passengers to American Airlines' larger network. The CRJ-200 became an important part of this operation - allowing Air Wisconsin to replace older turboprops with faster and more comfortable regional jet service.
- CRJ-200LR N420AW was one of the aircraft associated with Air Wisconsin's American Eagle operations. Wearing the American Eagle regional livery - the aircraft represented the era when regional jets became increasingly common throughout the United States. Aircraft such as N420AW routinely operated short- and medium-distance flights linking smaller communities with major airline hubs - where passengers could connect onward to American Airlines' extensive domestic and international network. The aircraft's compact size and jet performance made it particularly effective for routes where a larger airliner would not have been economical.
- This 1:200 scale model - registration N420AW - captures the appearance of a classic American regional jet from the period when Air Wisconsin was an important part of the American Eagle network. With its distinctive regional-airline markings and compact CRJ proportions - it makes an excellent addition to collections focused on American aviation history - regional airlines - or the evolution of U.S. commercial air travel. A great display piece for collectors - this model brings the character of the American Eagle regional-jet era to a shelf - office - or aviation-themed collection.
