Hi All. Coming to a PC near you................ Critter's strike back! Valujet Summer 1996.  Complete package with repaints of the DC-9-21, DC-9-32 and MD-80. The DC-9-32 has been tweaked somewhat from my original repaint, and boy after using the MD-80 paint kit, the DC-9-10 and 32 paints kits suck! ;D I won't be uploading these repaints to Avsim. They will only be available form here in this package. A bit more testing to do, so I should upload them tomorrow night. Paul |

I have the Jan 1997 schedule as well, but this one has all the types used in service. Jason. The Diesel 9 painkits are almost like using BMP's!! I still might tweak them some more if I can find the courage to open them again! Fills up KATL quite well!! Paul |

Paul I remember that crash well, it was a landmark case that exposed the many flaws in subcontracting and how airlines were operating just outside the law to save money. Crash investigation and the science of it has long been a passion of mine. I've traveled to many crash sites, and no matter how well it's cleaned up. there are always remnants. I've held parts of the American Flyers Electra that crashed in the foothills of the Arbuckle Mountains while on approach to the airline's base at Ardmore, OK in 1966. I take nothing from the sites - it's hallowed ground, IMO. and I respect that. I find crashes rather interesting - crash reports often give information about operations at the time, which helps in creating a vintage FS environment. One of the more interesting people I've met was a first responder with the CFR team at Dobbins AFB when Southern 242 crashed outside Atlanta in 1977. He's now retired to a place in the Wichita Mountains near Lawton, OK. He was one of the first on the scene and he offered up some rather graphic descriptions I could care less about, but Southern 242 was interesting in that the crew had control, despite the loss of both engines, and set it down perfectly on a rural highway. The problem was it was a two-lane road surrounded on both sides by the famously huge Georgia Pine trees, and the trees ripped the plane apart. |
