Hi Paul

Sorry but the ATR doesn't fit the category for a GA Aircraft and there are a ton of flights available on AirSource already for this formidable turboprop.

GA Division is designed for General Aviation aircraft that you'd find at most aero clubs and flying schools or for private jets, helicopters etc. that are otherwise not represented at AirSource.

Regards
Mark

Re: OFFICIAL AIRCRAFT REQUEST THREAD - JSkorna - 08-10-2012

Not sure how a war plane fits into the category of GA and if this gets added it would open the door for every other war plane to be suggested!

Re: OFFICIAL AIRCRAFT REQUEST THREAD - Lincolnimp24 - 08-10-2012

perhaps then a spitfire should not have been added do you not think, and this fits into a GA category because it has a special place in a lot of hearts and there are some P-51's owned by private owners in flying clubs. :twisted:

Re: OFFICIAL AIRCRAFT REQUEST THREAD - AS 2 Tom Little - 08-11-2012

You both have good points, and yes there has been a spitfire in there for a long time now:

However we need to look at each as one on one basis, give me some time to run this one through EMT for a vote and I will get back.
