VIRTUAL AIR WALES
CALLSIGN - "RED DRAGON"
IN 2006, THE REAL AIR WALES, WHICH HAD BEEN OPERATING 5 ATR 42-300's OUT OF CARDIFF INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, CEASED OPERATIONS.
AIR WALES, INITIALLY FLYING OUT OF SWANSEA HAD UPGRADED IT'S FLEET FROM THE DORNIER 228 TO THE ATR 42-300 AND BEFORE ITS DEMISE WAS ROUMOURED TO BE LOOKING AT BOEING 757 AIRCRAFT FOR TRANSATLANTIC FLIGHTS.
FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS VA, FLIGHT 1's SUPERB ATR 72-500 HAS BEEN USED, AS IT PROVIDES THE BEST REPLICA OUT THERE FOR A TURBOPROP.
THIS VIRTUAL AIRLINE IS IN NO WAY AFFILIATED TO THE REAL AIR WALES AND SEEKS ONLY TO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PILOTS TO FLY THE "RED DRAGON", WITHIN THE VIRTUAL SKIES.
