Air Florida Douglas DC-9-15 N73AF circa 1981 for FS5.X 95 and 98 ============================================================================= **VERSION 2.0 of my AF DC-9, featuring many improvements, like 2 emergency exits (to acurate version DC-9-15) corrected paint of nose cap, tail border of attack painted, corrected "Air Florida" logo on the fuselage** Paint work by: Rafael Zimmermann Original DC-9-15/20 by: Brian Quayle/John Keane HISTORY: Air Florida was founded in 1972 to operated local flight in the state of FL. Its first fleet was composed by some Lochkeed L-188 Electra. After deregulation in 1978, AF quickly expanded adding the 737's and DC-9 jets to its fleet. This expansion allowed to AF operate flights outside the state of FL. However, in 1982, a serious accident at Washington National Airport was one of the factors, like the finnancial difficulties, that contributed to the bankrupticy of Air Florida in 1984.
