This is another article that was translated from French to English, so the grammar is not quite there. In any case, it's interesting to see a California based leasing company buying 6 Sukhoi jets.
I'd love to see an American airline operating these jets, but methinks these will probably go to an overseas customer.

The Superjet crosses the Atlantic. Sukhoi announced Sept. 2 that the California company leasing reactors Willis Lease Finance Corporation had signed an agreement to purchase six copies of its regional aircraft.
The contract includes six 100-95LR FS, in a version with extended range, and comes with options for four additional aircraft. It is estimated at 300 million dollars.
Deliveries should begin in September 2012. The aircraft will be equipped with 98-seat single class configuration.
The Superjet is currently undergoing certification campaign. The fielding of the first aircraft to Aeroflot is set in the fourth quarter of 2010.
