FS2004 Raytheon/Beechcraft B1900D Us Airways Express
Design: Mike Stone
Repaint: Alejandro Hurtado
The Raytheon/Beechcraft B1900D Airliner is a very diferent small liner aircraft. At first sight it looks like another passenger aircraft, but has a total of six auxiliary fins in the tail, four vertical and two horizontal. Plus, Beech is not a name that you usualy relate with comercial airlines.
US Airways can trace it's history back to 1937 when it flew the US Postal Service routes under the title of All American Aviation. By 1949 the airline was renamed All American Airways, until 1953, when the new name of 'Allegheny' was adopted.
On October 1979 the name US Air was introduced and international services were added to the routes by the end of the 1980s. You can find the Us Air livery in the original Mike Stone's plane.
After a four year association with British Airways had come to an end US Air reverted to it's old name of US Airways and introduced a new livery.
This file was specially made for FS2004, and reflects the standart Us Airways Express paintig.

Warranty:
I love the warranty wrote by Andrew W. Hall:
"None. Zip. Nada. Use at your own risk. I dont think
this will harm your computer in any way, but if it does, I
dont even want to hear about it."
A last remark: Why don't become a repainter? There are a lot of planes with special markings. I'm tired of the usual F-16 low-vis scheme, or the usual 757 in Delta markings. Why don't a "Bat's outa Hell's" B-25 or a serie of Qantas 737s? The plane modelers like Mike Stone are very important, but they can't make all the painting schemes by himselfs. So why don't help him and his friends?
INSTALLATION:
Just unzip b190ah52.zip in your "Aircraft" folder of FS2002, FS2004 or FS9 (make sure "use folder names" is checked).
