  In this paper we demonstrate that there are distinct differences between real
and complex equiangular tight frames (ETFs) with regards to erasures. For
example, we prove that there exist arbitrarily large non-trivial complex
equiangular tight frames which are robust against three erasures, and that such
frames come from a unique class of complex ETFs. In addition, we extend certain
results in \cite{BP} to complex vector spaces as well as show that other
results regarding real ETFs are not valid for complex ETFs.
