It would seem the above post was lost in the changing of the sevice here at SimV.
North Central, and Wisconsin Central Airlines is what this Virtual Airline is about. Using actual timetable routes that this carrier flew in the Lower 48 Continetial United States and lower parts of the Providences of Canada. With Hub(s) located in the North Central region of the U.S.
Wisconsin Central and North Central are one in the same. What started out as Wisconsin Central from 1944 to 1951 this carrier changed their name in 1952 to North Central to more accurately reflect the routes they were now serving. The amazing story and success of this carrier has been well documented by several sites on the web, and grew to be the Nations largest carrier at more than one point in their career. North Central remained until 1979 at that time they merged with Southern and formed Republic Airlines, Herman the Duck logo remained on quite a few liverys still.
Being a Virtual Airline and flying timetables of this carrier I felt to make a VA more successful, more was needed yet. This VA not only honors the Aircraft that Wisconsin Central and North Central flew, with the close to 30 actual paint schemes through the years (many exclusive to the VA members only), more larger aircraft were added, and scheduling was created to reflect these larger aircraft on a Global nature. Aircraft were entered into service as Concept by myself for North Central Virtual Airlines, and liverys for these larger aircraft were generated.
The aircraft themselves are and will be from the single engine piston, to twin engine Turbo props, twin jet engine to the multiple jet engine aircraft. We have aquired 22 aircraft presently and once FSLive.eu makes the other models available for the VA yet that are needed, those will be purchased and placed as well. All aircraft are assigned to specific numbered route scheduling as to avoid flying the wrong aircraft to a airport not capable of handling the aircraft you pilot. From short prop hops to medium jet state to state flying, to the large jet continet to continet North Central Virtual will accomodate your flying needs. Fly when you want and where you want, the name of the game is keep it enjoyable.
We are a group of 4 at present, ranging in professions as College Instructor, retired USMC, and semi-retired HVAC Industrial scale people, young to the middle aged well seasoned individuals who(s) pastime happens to be a shared interst in microsofts FSX flying within a purpose. You really don't have a thing to loose by atleast dropping over for a visit and checking out the North Central Virtual Airline thread in the Forums over at FSLive.eu with flight tracking, It turns out we are more than just a Airline. Hope to see you there.
