Republic Airlines Convair CV-580 N7278R ca.1984 for FS5.x 95 and 98 ============================================================================= Republic livery by: Rafael Zimmermann Original CV-580 model by: Frank Safranek HISTORY: Republic Airlines was formed in 1979 by the merger of North Central and Southern Airlines. By 1980 Hughes Airwest was added and Republic grew, to be the 8th largest carrier in the U.S. By 1986 Republic was bought by Northwest. Most of their planes still fly in NW, like the DC-9-31 N9393, which was a Hughes and Republic flyer, with the same reg. number up to now. CONTACT: You can "still" talk to me at: rafaez@avalon.sul.com.br (My internet/e-mail accout was supposed to be closed at AUG 3rd, but seems that folks from my provider forgot to do that. I intend to keep serving myself from the same provider, but if I change my e-mail I'll communicate you all, thanks) And visit my web at: http://www.geocities.com/Eureka/Park/2104 (Soon, my page will count only on AIRCRAFT free downloads, 'coz I thought that the other options such as panels, sceneries, and utilities would work, but they didn't. People prefer aircraft for FS in most of the times, so either I do) FINAL NOTES: A photo of the REAL CV-580 of Republic is packaged togheter in this ZIP. Just take a look at the JPG taken at ORD in MAR 1984. (Copyright by AirNikon) Have a nice flight, and happy landings!!!! :-) Rafael Zimmermann - CURITIBA - BRAZIL
