This is a repaint of Ricks excellent Viscount. I urge you to visit his website and get hold of his other great aircraft, BAe748 Viscount 800 and 700 models, Vickers Vanguard and coming soon the Handley Page Herald!!
all available at www.btinternet.com/~rickpiper
Just unzip this file to your FS2000 Aircraft folder and it should pop up in the menu. I have tried to emulate the aircrfat from pictures at Airliners.net another superb site. I hope you enjoy her
All the best Tony Madge tonymadge@yahoo.com

The Vickers Viscounts have no Prop Pitch Reverse. (use spoiler key to emulate Ground Pitch Fine (props act like 10 foot disk)
No Logo Lighting on Tail Fin. (Some may have).
No Strobes on any of the aircraft that I have visited (Some may have strobes).
Please note this aircraft model is a work-in-progress (I am never happy!).
