Discussion at another aviation site indicates several ExpressJet EMB-135 aircraft are to return to service in a few months.  Anybody know anything and can share with us here?

5 135s will be returning.  They will be used as subs in March for 145s in paint or checks, and they start flying regular flts in April.  Saw one painted with the United Express paint today by the Constant Aviation Hangar.

Yes, the first two came last week after four years of storage in Kingman, AZ, still in full heritage CO/XJT colors:

Another one was returned last night (N15527) after flying for Chautauqua under Midwest Connect, although it has now been repainted in full new UA colors (probably the one Doug saw), and I heard that another one arrived today from CHQ, but I don't have the ID yet.

Here's a dark shot of N15527 coming in last night, 2/15.  It's the first E-135 to wear the current colors and will enter service soon.You need to be a member to view our links.
