Re: Recollection of the birth of SunAir

I guess I should have renamed the photo! The European non-profit that refurbed the Connie here in California flew it to Europe in 2004. By lark I was able to fly on it prior to that flight.

Re: Recollection of the birth of SunAir

Marty and David, Thanks to both of you. I will move to the 55% setting Marty.

Recollection of the birth of SunAir

I have to stretch my memory somewhat for this. After all, it’s been at least 15 years! Some real airlines don’t last that long. Here is what I recall that led to the birth of SunAir, as best as I can recall it. I believe you may find it interesting. Like many others, I was an early MS FS customer. V...

Re: Comments or suggestions about SunAir Express

Dave, I can only pass my congratulations and my appreciation for what you have done to keep SunAir organized and robust. You have re-inspired me. So far I found some archives including email exchanges with Jim Swanson and others regarding navigating trans-oceanic flights. I hope I have more. May tak...
