It's part of United.

EMB-120 Brasilia. Owned and operated by Skywest Airlines, under a Capacity Purchase Agreement with United Airlines.

Yup, it's nacelles. Another French addition to the language of flight, I assume...

Slick looking bird. Not as fast as a 328, but as long as it has the looks...

Somewhere, I have a 15 year old picture of me flying a Brasilia and doing a 40 degree left bank over the USS Lexington in Corpus Christi. The altitude was about 2000 feet, and the boat shows up pretty well.

In the business for more than 15 years? Dang, you've lived though all the good days with carriers like TWA and a vivid mix of old and new jets. I'm even greener with envy now. I wish I was you, lol.

If someone want´s it there is already one made by Erick Cantu/OSS for fs9 which is completely compatible with FSX.

The original plane: http://www.texturasbr.uni.cc/home/index.php?act=listar_arquivos&id_cat=4
The Fix for FSX: Look for e120v1.2-fsx.zip in Avsim.com

In the page with the original pack, there are many repaints. These guys from Texturas Brasileiras has made even HD Repaints witch are very beautiful.

I'm in my early forties. I got my first flying job in June 1989. Flight Instructor, Freight Dog, and then People Pusher. Those first two jobs were tough and almost killed me, so don't be too envious. I think of those days as the "good ole bad old days".

You're going to slip right into a nice fancy jet, and by-pass the extraneous bull shizer...it is I who am envious of you, Bjoern. Besides, you can build planes in FSX, and I can hardly paint worth a crap.

I racked up a lot of passenger miles in an EMB-120 with USAIR and the Delta Connection.

Sounds like a fairly popular career, at least the "from stuff to meat" part.

Oh, don't be. I don't even have the foundation to pay for an ATPL yet. I'll probably be well over thirty when I can finally make a living from flying.

You can fly the real deal, I can't. ;)
