-They do look slightly out of proportion, is that what you mean?

-Brilliant work Sandy, wish an airline like SunJET existed :)

-Brilliant work Sandy, wish an airline like SunJET existed :)They did, a few years ago. Their colours weren't as nice as this, however. Nice job Sandy, but where are the P&W JT-9D's?!
On a lighter note, is the SP capable of flying GLA-HNL non-stop?

My fleet would use proper engines :) Hence the RR's.
As for the range... no, not non stop. But I said Direct.
A fuel stop at PHX or LAX would be required.

Yes, thats why the Jumbo was late for its first ever revenue flight and that 30 or so 747s were delayed for delivery after launch because PW couldn't get their crap together and deliver a proper engine. :diablo:

Hahahaha, that's management speak Sandy - I said Direct, not Non-Stop. How direct can direct be if it's not direct ;)
Nice template BTW.

-Direct - You dont have to change planes on the journey, but can still stop. Example is the likes of Virgins Australia service.
Non - Stop - Self Explanatory.

-When I fly from GLA direct to PIK, I go direct not land at EDI then to PIK!
I've always thought flying direct would take you there direct, not after a stop - going direct really makes the stop the direct destination.

-Ironically, sometimes a 'direct' flight entails changing planes, even though the 'continuation' flight has the same flight number. Here's the worst part in that situation. If the first leg of said continuation flight is delayed the second leg doesn't wait for you, even thought it's the same flight number. Go figure.

-something for greekdude :)You da man! Very above average, thank you. Great job on those Pratts!
UA actually acquired their SP's from Pan Am when they purchased their Pacific routes in the 80's. Only 1 ever wore the Blue/grey scheme, but they never actually wore the 4 star scheme as Sandy illustrates. It still looks nice in that livery, though.

-Oops, I just realized that's the hybrid Pan Am scheme, not the 4 star. Sorry about that! Excellent job on that one! :o

Just finished my 747SP template. Thought I'd give it a test.
Introducing SunJET. Scotlands ticket to the sun.
Offering direct flights from GLA and PIK to Cuba, Bahamas, Caymen Islands and Hawaii. Fitted with 270 seats with 33" pitch and PTVs throughout offering 300 hours of video on demand and 40 games.
The upper deck features Alba class, with 60" pitch premium seats with dedicated meal and drinks on demand service making the flight to and from holiday just that little bit extra special.
Oh well, one can dream :rolleyes:
