Those are some nice pictures and paint job. I had never heard of the airline before. Was this a actual route they used to fly?

[guestairways]

yes, this was the actual route.

they operated from 1948 to 1962 when they were absorbed by Aeronaves de Mexico (nowadays Aeromexico)

Hi,

Nice pics indeed.

Yep, very real. In the 1962 AI traffic, the Mexicana/Guest DeHavilland Comet 4C arrives in Lisbon at 1300 GMT and departs at 1345, on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Three other days it arrives and departs at night. These aircraft were leased from Mexicana on a regular basis. If you go to Mexico City you will sometimes see one or two Aerovias aircraft.

For the 1959 traffic an Aerovias Guest DC-6 is substituted. Aerovias only used Super Connies for a short period in 1960 and 1961 (ex Thai Airways, which switched to Thai International DC-6B's). Aerovias sold them to TAP and Iberia in 1960 and 1961.

Hope this helps,

Hi,


Nice pics indeed.
But the Lisbon scenery is missing something
Did you install all the necessary scenery-libraries?

Kindly regards

[guestairways]

I forgot to install some libraries ;D

It's a little mess to find all of them

Very nice shots indeed!

However the panel is different from mine. My Super G panel is green and not gray, and also the gauges are a bit different, the black housings are not installed on my panel. Where did you get the panel?

[canuck]

Yes.. Iwould like to know where you got this panel as well..
