\\Panagra Airways 1998 Panagra Airways (1997-1999) IATA: 7E ICAO: PGI CALLSIGN: PANAGRA Panagra was founded in 1996 by an ex-Eastern Airlines captain. Operations began in March 1997 with 2 727s operating both public charters and flights on behalf of other operators. The airline was operationally based in Miami (MIA), as this is where the planes usually were, but it's headquarters was in Ft. Lauderdale (FLL) while maintenance was done in both Greensboro (GSO) and Miami's Opa Locka Airport (OPF). Charter operations mostly were in support of a Dominican Republic-based tour operator and bringing passengers from points in North America to Florida. The 727-100 was operated in a white livery with a chrome belly and PANAGRA billboard titles, with no other markings, and the 727-200 was flown in the colors of it's former operator, Greyhound. The airline shut down 2 years into operations in 1999. I have plans to do the repaints for this carrier eventually. 727-100: 727-200: Download Panagra Airways 1998 Flightplans Here

//Sunworld International Airlines 1998 Sunworld International Airlines (1996-2004) IATA: X5 ICAO: SWI CALLSIGN: SUNWORLD Sunworld International Airlines started flying in 1996 with a single bare-metal 727-200 operating charter flights across North America. In 1998, a second 727-200 painted all white(titles and logos were added in 1999) with winglets was added in 1998 and the airline launched regular weekend charters from CVG to STX, SXM, and GCM on Friday through Sunday. During the week, the aircraft mostly sat idle but operated limited charters, mostly via LAS. Charter destinations from LAS are based on photo evidence and other data. The airline continued flying with pair of 727s into the 2000s before switching to cargo flights in 2003 and being shut down in 2004 due to maintenance discrepancies on a freighter. The 1999 version(with titles\logos rather than the 1998 Albino) of the AIA 727-200 with winglets is on flightsim.com as "av72wsun.zip", the other paints are needed. 727-200: Download Sunworld International Airlines 1998 Flightplans Here

\\\Sky Trek International Airlines 1998 Sky Trek International Airlines (1996-2000) IATA: 1L ICAO: PZR CALLSIGN: PHAZER Sky Trek International Airlines was founded in 1996 operating both public charters and sub-services for other scheduled airlines. Initially, the airline was based in Trenton(TTN/KTTN) but the airline had shifted it's operational headquarters to Newark(EWR/KEWR) by 1998(though TTN still saw some flights). In 1997, the airline operated the FLL-DFW-LGB route on behalf of Sun Jet International, but these flights ceased by 1998 as Sun Jet had gone out of business. All routes in 1998 were on a pure charter basis, but I used photo evidence and information from a former pilot at the company to create actual routes flown at least once. I also did 1997 plans for this airline, but these 1998 plans exclude the Sun Jet flying in favor of more charters and also include another 727 which was delivered in 1998. By 1999, the airline had changed it's name to Discovery Airlines and went out of business a year later in the year 2000. I have done the AIA 727-200 repaint here: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1qwoEdWnKSFRyJapdjVWjbhwCHatVrn29?usp=sharing727-200: Download Sky Trek International Airlines 1998 Flightplans Here

\\Sierra Pacific Airlines 1998 Sierra Pacific Airlines (1971 - Present) IATA: SI ICAO: SPA CALLSIGN: SIERRA PACIFIC Sierra Pacific is a Tucson, Arizona(TUS\KTUS) based niche-charter airline that has been around for decades with a small fleet of 737s, usually just 2-3 aircraft for most of it's history. Founded in 1971, initially, the airline operated various group charters with a decent-sized fleet of Convair 580s. 737s were added by the 1990s, and the airline briefly flew a 737-300 in the early 1990s. By 1998, the airline is still around today operating 737-200s and 737-500s. While for much of it's history up until modern times, the main contracts with Sierra Pacific for charters have been US Government agencies like the US Forest Service, in 1998, the airline had a contract with Atlantic City(ACY) Casinos and was operating public passenger charters to cities on the East Coast. To represent both operations, I have split up the aircraft so that the government charters use "RAMP" parking and the public passenger charters use "GATE" parking. The aircraft often ferry home to KTUS as they do in real life, so you will usually see at least one of them there for at least a few hours each day. Destinations based on photo evidence and other online information from a friend who flies there. The airline worse the same basic livery for many years until the mid-2010s. The FAIB 737-200 is on Avsim here: library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=faib_732_spa_fsx.zip&CatID=root&Go=Search737-200 Government charters(uses "RAMP" parking): 737-200 Government charters(uses "RAMP" parking): 737-200 Passenger charters(uses "GATE" parking): Download Sierra Pacific Airlines 1998 Flightplans Here

\\Air Tahiti 1998 Air Tahiti (1987 - Present) IATA: VT ICAO: VTA ICAO: AIR TAHITI Not to be confused with Air Tahiti Nui, Air Tahiti has been Tahiti's local Papetee(PPT)-based airline island hopping around the nation and to neighboring nations since 1987(formerly being Air Polynesie), and is still around today. In 1998, the airline was mostly made up of ATR-72s much like today, also flying 1 ATR-42 and 1 BN-2. The BN-2 only did 5 minute flights between PPT and MOZ with 5 minute turns on the ground, so it kept very busy. The ATR-72 fleet kept busy as well, with turns normally ranging from 10-20 minutes, so PPT is the best place to see them for any amount of time. Bora Bora(BOB) was another hub for Air Tahiti, with routes across the nation. Air Tahiti held the distinction of the world's longest over-water turboprop flight at the time, with PPT-GMR blocking in at 2 hours and 15 minutes! The completion of this airline now completes all flights to Tahiti in the 1998 Project. As is common for airlines with limited domestic airport options, Air Tahiti today has a very similar network. There are no repaints in the 1990s livery that I know of at the moment. BN-2: ATR-42: ATR-72: Download Air Tahiti 1998 Flightplans Here

\\TransMeridian Airlines - TMA 1998 TransMeridian Airlines (1995-2005) IATA: T9 ICAO: TRZ CALLSIGN: TRANSMERIDIAN TransMeridian Airlines was founded as "Prime Air" in 1995, but changed names largely due to the "T" logo on the Translift planes of Europe as Translift had a nar-majority interest in TransMeridian and the A320s swapped back and forth. Initially, the charter flights were focused on ORD/DTW to Mexico and the Carribean. However, that model had changed after the summer of 1997 in favor of a contract with Myrtle Beach Jet Express(offering flights for all inclusive resort\entertainment packages) and sub-services for various Latin airlines to the USA. These plans represent this MYR-based flying, along with representative services on behalf of AVIANCA, Santa Barbara Airlines, Queen Air, Haiti International Air, and Air Santo Domingo. While ORD remained a popular destination, regular service to DTW was mostly limited to a contract with DaimlerChrysler for an A320 corporate shuttle(in a Lufthansa livery with no titles) between DTW and DUS with a fuel stop in SNN Westbound. In addition, 2 727s were added, with one in the old 1995 livery flying LAS-based charters across the US West Coast while anothe was painted in full Aeropostal colors operating a scheduled CCS-MIA-MAR-MIA-CCS route. All A320s were in the new 1997 introduced livery with the Translift "T" on the tail instead of the setting sun and ocean waves of the 1995 livery. TMA would live on until 2005, adding various types like the 757-200 and even flying the campaign plane for US Senator John Kerry's unsuccessful bid for president, before it would go bankrupt 10 years after starting service. I have painted the fleet: FAIB A320: drive.google.com/drive/folders/14IcFGaLKm0gUkdfp-4FpCKySnoHXHhOT?usp=sharingAIA 727-200: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-qsr00TUX-uSx4ujkuhuZAD5DLYArYnb?usp=sharingA320 IAE: 727-200 Charters: 727-200 Aeropostal: Download TransMeridian Airlines - TMA 1998 Flightplans Here

\\Sun Pacific International 1998 ??\SNP "SUN PACIFIC" Sun Pacific was another TUS-based charter carrier(founded by the former president of Sportsflight and Viscount) operating 727s from 1996-2001. In 1998, Sun Pacific had 727s, mostly did vacation charters fro YHM/PIT/JFK/EWR to PIE/MIA/FLL/CUN, as well as some IFP gambling charters on the US West Coast. The ex-Viscount Air Service 727-100 the company acquired was used by rock band U2 in their pop-up tour and simulates a portion of that tour in the US and Europe. A Sun Pacific 727-200 paint is out there(I have it don't remember from where) for those who want to get the bird flying, otherwise I will do a paint of the white livery and the 727-100 eventually. These plans simulate that flying, and the 727-200s all stop in TUS for a day or so once per week where they'll sit on the ramp. Better get some IFP scenery, the small airport is starting to fill up. 727-100 U2 Tour: 727-200: Download Sun Pacific International 1998 Flightplans Here

\\California Aeroservicios 1998 California Aeroservicios (1998-2004) IATA: UNKNOWN ICAO: UNKNOWN CALLSIGN: UNKNOWN California Aeroservicios was a small Mexican passenger charter airline which operated a C-131B across Baja California from San Deigo's Brown Field(SDM\KSDM). As far as I know, this is the only true airline to have offered service out of SDM, and is an interesting piece of California aviation history. From what I gather, the airline appears to have been active from 1998-2004 with just 1 aircraft, and that aircraft was repainted into a more basic yellow and white livery from 1999-2004. The airline is not listed in the JP Fleets Book, and I could not find much else out about them. But as I find the operation very interesting, I made the flightplans. Any information on this airline is appreciated! I will do the repaint eventually myself unless someone else decides to do it themselves first.

\\Golden Nugget Aviation 1998 Golden Nugget Aviation (1984-2000) IATA: NONE ICAO: NONE CALLSIGN: N731EW Golden Nugget Aviation was active from 1984 until 2000, operating private airliners for VIP charters. The airline operated a 727-100 then a DC-9-10 until 1991, and then was inactive until 1996 when MD-87 N731EW was added to the fleet. The charters were based out of LAX from what I gather, and while YVR seemed to be a frequent destination, I found evidence of trips to SJU and MEL so I added those as well. General aviation parking is at a premium at LAX, so I figured it is best to keep the jet moving most of the week. I will eventually do the repaint if no one else does, you may see a photo of it here.

\\Davis Oil Company 1998 Davis Oil Company (1990-2000) IATA: NONE ICAO: NONE CALLSIGN: N44MD Davis Oil Company was founded in 1949 based in Perry, Georgia(PXE). For about 10 years from approximately 1990-2000, the company had a 727-100 registered N44MD as a corporate shuttle. The aircraft was used mostly for flights to LAX, where it visits several times per week in these plans, as well as Houston via the Hobby Airport(HOU). In late 1999 or early 2000, winglets were added to the aircraft, but there is no record of it flying after 2000. I will eventually do this paint if no one else does. You may find a photo of the aircraft here.727-100: Download Davis Oil Company 1998 Flightplans Here

\\KEB Aviation 1998 KEB Aviation (1998 - Present) IATA: NONE ICAO: NONE CALLSIGN: N287KB KEB Aviation, owned by a San Francisco area Real Estate company, acquired an ex-Aero Lloyd MD-87 registered N287KB in 1998, and it is still flying today! Initially, the aircraft operated out of both Stockton, California(SCK) and Livermore California(LVK) and often ended up in Europe and other parts of the world. LVK is a small general aviation airport that only occasionally gets small jets, so the MD-87 caused a lot of concern to the local residents living near the airport. In 2000 or 2001, the aircraft relocated to SCK for all flights where it is still based today, often found parked right next to the passenger terminal. The MD-87 wore a Aero Lloyd livery in 1998, and briefly wore a bold livery in 2000 before soon after being repainted into a more conservative blue and white livery which it still wears today. I have done the repaint for the AIA MD-87 based off Eduardo Villanueva's Aero Lloyd repaint, and you may download it here: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hgjy06gl6dT8p-JGIqEOtdkeTN1k9pYn?usp=sharingMD-87: Download KEB Aviation 1998 Flightlans Here

\\Vulcan Northwest Inc 1998 Vulcan Northwest Inc (1995-2003) IATA: NONE ICAO: NONE CALLSIGN: N757AF Vulcan Northwest Inc was the company created to operate a Boeing 757-200 for Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen and was based at Boeing Field in Seattle(BFI). In 1998, San Jose (SJC) was likely the most frequent destination with the booming of Silicon Valley, but the aircraft got around to other destinations as well. N757AF would go on to become the famous personal aircraft of US President Donald Trump. A second 757-200 with winglets, N756AF, would join the fleet sometime in late 1999 or early 2000 and was used primarily by Bill Gates. In 2003, Vulcan Northwest Inc changed their name to Vulcan Aviation Inc. and both 757s exited the fleet by the end of the year.

As the addition of 1998 private airliners continues, I'll take a moment to point out that I have thrown you FS9 users a bone. While the 1998 project (and the rest of my work from here on out) is focused on P3Dv4 and FS2020 after P3D eventually becomes obsolete, I have elected to select "week" long schedules for my charter and other representative flight plans. AIFP allows multi-week scheduling for P3Dv4 flightplans now, and while that may be more realistic, I decided some time ago that since so many of you use FS9 and FSX still that I would stick to weekly routings to allow these plans to work with your simulators should you find the proper paints. I hope you all enjoy them. \\Worldwide Aircraft Holding Company Bermuda Limited 1998 Worldwide Aircraft Holding Company Bermuda Limited (1997-2018) IATA: NONE ICAO: NONE (use VIP for parking) CALLSIGN: VP-BAT Worldwide Aircraft Holding Company Bermuda Limited was founded in 1997 to operate 1 of the former 2 Qatar Amiri Flight 747SPs(VP-BAT)beyond the needs of the Royal family. Despite the Bermuda operating certificate, the company actually had the aircraft based in Bournemouth, England(BOH) where it spent most of it's time sitting idle. In 1998, the aircraft did not do much flying as it was undergoing repairs, likely a major cabin retrofit and having sensitive Qatari equipment stripped. The aircraft spent time at both London-Stansted(STN) and Dallas Love Field(DAL) undergoing these repairs, and the only trip I could find evidence of was one to Rome using the CIA airport. These plans represent this information, and you will find the aircraft for 1.5 days at BOH, STN, DOH, and DAL and for about 24 hours in CIA. The aircraft operated in the fleet in the basic Qatar Amiri Flight livery until 2016, and is for sale at the time of posting! It was joined in 2012 by a VIP 747-8i in a similar but modernized livery which operated until 2018, and the company has not operated another aircraft since. Michael Pearson has done the FAIB 747SP repaint on Avsim here (be sure to take away it's Qatar Amiri Flight callsign and parking codes): library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=faib_747sp-21_qaf_383003.zip&CatID=root&Go=Search747SP: Download Worldwide Aircraft Holding Company Bermuda Limited 1998 Flightplans Here

\\Getty 1998 (No IATA\ICAO) "N311AG" Ann & Gordan Getty, a San Francisco millionare couple, bought 727-100 N311AG in 1986 after it had changed hands several times since 1971 and they still operate this aircraft out of OAK today(though it is due to be replaced very soon)! Back in 1998, the aircraft was one of very few based at congested SFO and spent most of it's time sitting around the General Aviation ramp where I saw it very often as a child growing up. However, aside from the semi-frequent trips to Seattle's Boeing Field(BFI), the aircraft has had many global adventures. In the late 1990s, the Getty's took a trip to South Africa in their 727-100 and I have included it! If no one paints this aircraft, I'll do it myself eventually. 727-100 winglets: Download Getty 1998 Flightplans Here

\\The Flying Hospital 1998 The Flying Hospital (1994-2001) IATA: NONE ICAO: HSP CALLSIGN: HOSPITAL One of the last airworthy L-1011s in the skies today, The Flying Hospital L-1011 spent decades flying around the world to provide medical care to impoverished nations and display at airshows before being retired in Tucson(TUS) in 2001 for 15 years and then ferried to Kansas City (MCI) in 2017 to the TWA Museum where it remains airworthy today. The L-1011 started life as one of PSA's famous 2 Tristars flying around California for a few years before being stored and eventually going on to serve with Cathay Pacific, Aeroperu, and Worldways Canada before conversion to a flying hospital in 1994. The aircraft was later registered P4-MED, but was N787M in 1998, where it sat as a static display at both the FAB and LBG airshows as well a trip to REC and SJU. These flightplans represent these flights, with the aircraft spending a few days on the ground in TUS, as it normally did, while spending a day in SJU and REC before crossing the pond to AMS and sitting static at FAB on Saturday and LGB on Sunday, where it will be joined by other aircraft I have given airshow duties to in previous plans like the Concorde. Repaint is needed for the DWAI model, but it is done for the HJG L-1011 and thus will be available when the AI model of that aircraft is released in the future.
