Pele's Around the World

Work continues on getting the Level D and Captain Sim paints done for the 767, but the turtle decal on the engines, along with a nebulous period in RMA history had me fleshing something else out; a DC-7B in a Mauna Rua livery that does not contain the Pele image. The story is already on the Mauna Rua page of the RMA website.

Meanwhile, before a MRA timetable is finalized, in time for the end of the school year, and summer vacation season, I have developed a pair of "Pele circumnavigation tours" of magical islands around the world to coincide with a low period in our scheduled services. The Southern Hemisphere around the world route is flyable westbound only, between now and May 15th, which is the target date to begin MRA scheduled services.

The routings for these 9-filght tours visit islands of magic and mystery. For the Southern Hemisphere Tour, with a focus on exotic beaches and wildlife, we visit Fiji, Bali, Mauritius, Zanzibar, Sal (Cape Verde Islands), Baltra (Galapagos), Easter Island, and Tahiti, before returning to Kona. Our 767 can fly it all in comfort and style, and the aircraft used is having a special seat pitch installed for pure luxury service for a lucky 112 people (among the world's wealthiest), who will literally be able to sleep on the plane. Each tour is designed to last 45 days, giving the travellers an average of five or six days at each stop. Look for these around the world tours to become annual features. The Northern Hemisphere Tour has a more intensive party vibe, and flies eastbound from Las Vegas, and visits Jamaica, St. Maarten, Iceland, Ireland, Rhodes, Phuket, Macau, and Kona, before finishing.
