I would have loved to see that takeoff at Burbank and being built here in Palmdale. Great Job DeltaFlot. Robert

COOL BEANS Russ! I like it! The choice of the -500 is an interesting one. PSA couldn't make the larger version pay off and Hughes Airwest would never have made it pay either... at least not a new one.

As a pickup from another airline, while the range would have been wasted, the size could have been good for their longer legs they developed right before Republic sucked them up.

In any event, the livery suits the L1011 better than the proposal from MD on the DC-10.

I like the half painted engines particularly. While not the most attractive alternative it's more realistic that way. Work on the blennding on the #2 intake though... it looks like it got wacked-in by a cherry picker during de-icing!
