Sunday Trivia: Embraer

Embraer has built quite a few different civil airliners now.  Most recently, we see the Embraer E-170 and ERJ-140 aircraft among many airlines.

Question:  Can you name the first aircraft Embraer produced?

Answer after the fold:

It was Piper light aircraft from kits sent over to Brazil from the United States.  Embraer has produced over 2500 Pipers in Brazil now. 

Their first commercial airiner was the EMB-110 Bandeirante followed by the EMB Brasilia.  The ERJ series of regional jets actually use the same fuselage as the Brasilia and Bandeirante.
