Yet another cargo schedule. This also contains the needed model and repaint. TWA Cargo Spring 1963. All turning, none burning in this one ;D My thanks to Tom Gibson and Dave McQueen for letting me do the simple repaint to the freighter for the Lockheed Starliner and for also distributing it outside of the Propliner AI package. Enjoy. Kris. Let me know when you are ready for more submissions and I'll send them to you and kill the download links. Paul Updated 30th April with correct link Download Link removed

A small one which helps break up the monotony of doing the big ones! Monarch "Crown" scheduled services for the summer of 1995. A couple of 757s to add to the retro European skies. Enjoy Paul. PS Expect Capital Summer 1982 soon Download Link removed

Can't wait for Capital 1982 will there also be repaints Hi. I've requested the repaints, but had no takers. They probably have seen the Capital Saver DC-10 scheme! Hopefully, once the plans are released some kind person will paint the fleet. Paul

Slight clarification - the airline was Capitol, not Capital. Capital was the old Pennsylvania Central Airlines that was merged into United in 1960. In the days before WWII, PCA used the tag line "The Capital Line", reflecting their base at Washington, D.C. After the war, they dropped the PCA name because they felt it was too regional and became Capital Airlines. They were the first U.S. operator of the Viscount and billed themselves as having the nation's largest jet fleet, even though Capital never owned any pure jets. The airline always struggled in the northeast and they suffered he loss of two Viscounts and a Connie in rapid succession, badly damaging their public image. So, they ended up selling out to United, who wanted their more lucrative routes.
Capitol was a "non-sked" or "supplemental" carrier started after WWII and was a charter and inclusive tour operator. The U.S. military was one of their primary contractors, providing them a good income during the Vietnam era. After deregulation, Capitol tried to become a scheduled carrier with very little success. Despite the similar names, the two airlines were never connected.
And, FWIW, the three Capital crashes - only one was determined to be the fault of the airline's operation. That was the Connie, in which - if memory serves - the pilot overshot the runway. The first Viscount was the result of a collision with an Air Force jet. The second Viscount is still officially unsolved, metal fatigue was suspected, but what happened for sure was never determined.

Looking at both CapitOAl schedules its easy to see. Now which one had most capital behind it!! Sorry, won't do that again!!. Kris. The Capitol I knew firstly had Connie's, then DC-8s and lastly the DC-10s. Like ONA, they used to operate pure jet DC-8-20's and 30,s into LGW well into the late 70's. Thanks for the heads up. Look for it in a day or two as long as my PC plays ball. Having booting problems that seem to be power related (sockets that is). Another 2.5 hours and I have it working today again. Now will it work tomorrow?? Paul

Paul,
That would be Capitol, sometimes called Capitol International. They did fly a lot of charters for the U.S. military to Europe as well as the Vietnam operations. I don't think we ever flew them - I know when we first moved to Germany, we flew in on a Seaboard World charter. All of the trips back and forth to the States were on commercial lines, as best I can recall - usually Pan Am across the pond and either Braniff or American to Tulsa. But, getting back on point - Capitol did fly Connies fro years - they lost one at Richmond, VA and I think it was confused with Capital, further adding to the latter's reputation as an "unsafe" airline. In truth, they were no more or less safe than any other airline. For years, a Capitol Connie was on static display as a restaurant in Pennsylvania - I think it was removed just a few years ago - within the last decade. The photos I've seen of it show a Capitol scheme, sans titles.

If Air Europe (the stripes make me pulling my hair out) can wait, I'd be happy to continue with the Capitol fleet.c

Hi Ralf. Please take a brake from AE. That is what I do with the flight plans. Work on another one when the brain overloads with the first. The United 1969 plans cause lots of heart ache so I have compiled those small ones as a break and also have TWA 1963 on the roll as well. A change is as good as a rest!! Paul
