Expectations for 2007 (and 2010)

Silverbird · 01-02-2007, 02:57 PM

now that the Dash 8-400 has been unveiled, I certaily expect some European Dashs, e.g. SAS and FlyBE.
I also hope for releases of some forgotten airlines like Luxair (hey, it's even a national carrier and with a long history and a fleet with many type from ERJ145 to 747SP!), Air Malta, Spanair, Maersk, Air Greenland and others.
Finally I hope some gaps will be closed, e.g. Alitalia narrowbodies (MD80, A319), Delta MD80s, Qantas SP's and many L1011 from a GJ.

Why not this one

I am looking forward to receiving my Catalina flying boat later this month. I expect that we will see this released in more liveries over 2007 - I hope so anyway. What I would LOVE to see is the Short's Sunderland and Sandringham in this scale. Two absolute beuties from yesteryear that would make nice companions for the Catalina.

I think we'd expect to see many 787s, and maybe someone would eventually come up with a prototype 747-800.

And maybe the manufacturers would give light to more and more Asian carriers this year. My personal wishes would be the Royal Brunei 757 or Fokker 50 and AirAsia planes.

This is a long shot, but this would be a great pick. Go Gemini Jets!

What a ripper! Recognised the Billabong Surf logo (how could any Aussie not?) but just who owns this Albatross? Does it belong to Billabong USA or to Hawaiian Airlines or is it owned privately? If it belongs to Hawaiian then there's got to be a chance that someone will make it. Nice photo.

I would love an America West Express CRJ-900 from Gemini.

Boeing777 · 01-03-2007, 10:33 PM

I would love ANY US airline release! Please Gemini, make some more RJ's and turboprops!

Hopefully 2007 will see a lot more regional stuff released instead of the constant flow of heavy's. Air Canada 319/20/21 would be sweet, or even a Canadian 320 in the proud wing livery.

OAHH I Think Your My Buddy! Last Count I Think I Had About 300 747s. As I look At My 9 Pc Red Tail 747 Set, My 12 Piece BA Landor 747/Widebody Set, My 13 PC KLM Set, Air Canada Widebodies (1990s) etc etc Im Thinking FRACK! Where Are All The LITTLE Guys!
How The Hell Do You Have A Fleet Of 10 Widebodies With No Regionals & Narrowbodies!

BTW You Might Wanna Check Out My HELL YEAH Thread. Has Something to Do With the 5 737s Relesed. Boo Rah! I Also Complied A List Of Every Aircraft Painted In The Proud Wings Scheme Complete With Reg#s & Fin #s. There's Also Disissuoin On 'What Would Have Been" & The Reasons For Canadi>n's Downfall.

I'd give my right arm for some Braniff 727's in the Ultra scheme.

I saw it last year moored at Honolulu (March '06), the pilot I was flying with said that it was owned by Billabong but leased it's operations to Hawaiian. If anyone is going to make it I hope they make the Quiksilver one too.
