Original desing by IFDG Team - Robert Versluys, Aviel Nahoem, Kristiaan Duivesteijn, Karl Klatt.
Some repainting by Team Lufthansa and Misha Kovacevic
This repaint: Alejandro Hurtado
Welcome Air has one Do-328 Jet (OE-LJR) and two Do-328 turboprop (OE-LIR, OE-GBB). It has a web page, but I only speak spanish and english.
My last repaint was the OE-LJR. This one includes the other two planes.
So, if someone wants to make a Welcome Air virtual airline, just let me know. Welcome Air flies between Rotterdam, Göteborg, Antwerpen, Innsbruck, Olbia, Hannover, Graz, Neapel and Innsbruck. By the way: what means the nosepaint of the OE-GBB?
With my last plane, I reached 11,000 downloads in three sites, plus three more sites without counter. So I want to answer some questions.
First, I usualy don't include panels in my planes. That's because I think that if you know how to install my planes, you know how to install a panel. And a panel makes more heavy the .zip file. I'll would include manuals, panels, sound files, pictures of the original planes and a picture of myself fishing in Los Roques, but I don´t. Why overload a .zip file with all this stuff if any flightsimmer can find a good panel?. So, if you want all this, download it from the web and go to fish for yourself. I'm sure you can do it.
Second, all my repaints are real planes. No, no. I made only one ficticius plane, from William Air Lines. All the anothers are real. So, if you don't like the color of this repaint, for example, don't blame on me. This plane exist, Welcome Air exist and my repaint are for the people who likes and enjoys a decoration that is not "the usual 757 in Delta markings".
Third, when I was trying one of my repaints on the runway, suddenly the plane started to twist and jump like a wale. After some test, I discovered that the autopilot was engaged. Just in case.
And fourt, 11.000 thanks to all the people who was so interested in one of my repaints to download it. By the way, if you upload my repaint in another site, let me know, so I'll can follow the number of downloads and your feedback.

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 IFDG are very important, but they can't make all the painting schemes by himselfs. So why don't help they?
Installation:
Just unzip d328ah15.zip in your "Aircraft" folder of FS2002, install your desired panel and that's all. If you don't know how to install a panel, just let the default Beech King Air 350.
If you like this, or any observation, send me a mail to dracosist@cantv.net
