Can't tell. Is the fuselage all white Vector, or is it silver from just below the cheatline?

Looks very, very nice!

VECTOR1 · 02-10-2005, 01:50 PM

Hi, It is white and silver. I will get chance to post more pictures tomorrow. Also the Braniff Calder has landed today and pictures will be posted tomorrow.

jjorgemiami · 02-10-2005, 02:15 PM

Woo Hoo! Can't wait for that Calder! I wasn't planning on the Swissair, but I think you are convincing me!

I will look good with the
Hogan CV-440 and the Western Caravelle I am planing to get, they will be waiting for the CV-990 Coronado one day soon!

VECTOR1 · 02-10-2005, 02:37 PM

It looks like it could be a good summer for you and the Swissair fleet! The CV-990 is being worked on at the moment in the InFlightLE range, we shall keep you posted.

jjorgemiami · 02-10-2005, 03:00 PM

Yessssssssssssss!!!!

gottols · 02-10-2005, 03:41 PM

Or the Hogan/airmail Swissair Caravelle III due in March this year ??

Ummmmm!! I'd forgotten about that!

samu990 · 02-10-2005, 08:12 PM

Vector-

Great news on the 990! Does that mean that there is also an 880 in our future?

-Danny Samuels

VECTOR1 · 02-11-2005, 05:32 AM

Hi Danny,

You are correct in what you say. The CV-880 AND CV-990 are expected late April. Final colours have yet to be decided, except that I insist there being a Swissair CV-990 because of my spotting days at Heathrow.

Any suggestions please let us know!

samu990 · 02-11-2005, 09:17 AM

880 in Delta Golden Crown delivery colors- the first airplane I ever rode (1960)!

This would be my first choice as well. Alaska would be a close second.

I'll take a Spantax 990 - to remind me of my spotting days at Gatwick!

gottols · 02-11-2005, 02:11 PM

Swissair CV-990 is a must.I'll even be so "rude" as to ask for an SAS CV-990
(dark blue oldest type of viking style with full text Scandinavian Airlines
System) since this company leased a couple of them Swissair birds for a shorter period of time !!
Something like this :

Celso Gomes Filho · 02-11-2005, 10:27 PM

VARIG 990A Coronado is a very good choice!!!

Saudações

Celso

Celso Gomes Filho · 02-11-2005, 10:38 PM

I just love the little Convair Jetliner, the 880, as freighter:

INAIR Panama, Central American, Profit Express, Latin Cargo Venezuela...

Am I the only one???

I hope not

Celso

jjorgemiami · 02-11-2005, 10:46 PM

Well Swissair is a must on the 990, Varig and Viasa as well as the final Spantax and Northeast Yellow bird.

jjorgemiami · 02-11-2005, 10:47 PM

Oh, and don't forget SAS!

As well as Modern Air Transport!

David Hingtgen · 02-12-2005, 07:05 PM

An 880 must be Delta golden crown. Or NE yellowbird! Gloss yellow wings!

Question...as these appear to be LE releases, are they best preordered and through whom...Don Kaylor?

VECTOR1 · 02-14-2005, 05:50 AM

Hi, you will be able to order the LE models through Don at Jetstreams and Aviation Retail Direct in the UK. Once things have been sorted and colours have been decided we shall let you guys know.

gottols · 02-16-2005, 06:05 PM
