Dreams of Pele

She's in my head again, dammit.

RMA is finally how it should have been all along, and once again, thoughts turned to the Mauna Rua concept, despite declarations to not revisit it. The 737-600 was one of my better paints, and the VC works in FSX, making the aircraft attractive to keep, but it is the 767-300ER that captures my imagination. I have begun to paint the CLS bird, and would also try the Overland, Captain Sim, and Level D, although I would need a paint kit and tester to help me with the latter two, as I do not own them.

As for services, it's all about going where present real carriers do not. Once again, Kona is the hub, but the destinations are limited to CYVR, KLAS, KONT and RKSI. Japanese carriers already serve RJAA and RJBB from PHKO, although RJTT service remains a possibility for later, since Tokyo-Haneda is expanding the international terminal, and Hawaiian Air begins Honolulu service soon.

Don't rule out the Q400 either. I'd have to paint the PAD bird, but that would mean VC's in both FS9 and FSX. I like the idea of the inter-island plane being freeware, and the long-haulers being payware.

No pictures yet, but I already know who would be smiling at the news.
