This is private aviation on a grand and luxurious scale, built around MS Links 2003 (everything you need is at linkscorner.org). All destinations feature concentrations of at least three real golf courses in the game nearby. The aircraft is the freeware Project Airbus A318CJ with sharklets, and it bases at West Palm Beach, spending January and February in Scottsdale for the PGA Tour West Coast Swing. She is seen at Augusta in April, and Kona in the summer. This airplane is loaded with goodies, including a nice virtual cockpit with FMC, and authentic CFM engine sounds. It's payware-quality, but one needn't spend a week reading a manual to get airborne. She can cover a distance of 3000 miles, when properly loaded; enough for Monterey or Palm Springs to Kona. You can download this fine aircraft here

Not to leave out MSFS2020 pilots, an A320 NEO has been virtually leased from Comlux Malta. A complete quality freeware FSX/P3D aircraft is here, whereas MSFS pilots may find the textures for the IniBuilds A320 here. There's probably another payware texture or two to be found with some diligent searching. This aircraft is the only one capable of the Scottsdale-Kona run, and is also used for the July charter transatlantic expedition to the Open Championship. That run is from Teterboro to Prestwick, and is not depicted on the map.

Keeping our West Palm Beach crew occupied when N080GY is not being flown is N414RM, an Embraer Phenom 300 that rounds out the aircraft selection (Carenado FSX/P3D textures here). Whether helping with demand to/from Teterboro, flying college football charters to Austin and Pontiac in the fall, or flying Caribbean charters in the winter months, this light bizjet's 1800nm range will take our clients far, in speed and comfort. There's room for more bizjet types here as well. How would you imagine it?

At the western end of the route network, negotiations are ongoing to solidify a local air taxi partnership with Links 2003 golf courses playable on other Hawaiian islands. The 2023 fires have made a few situations at Kapalua more difficult in the short term, but there is confidence that Mauna Rua Air shall return soon, connecting Kona to Lahaina and Princeville, as well as Honolulu.

Until all of the details are sorted out, LinksAir and Mauna Rua Air remain concepts limited to this page, but there is a work-around in place. Pilots can fly both RMA and LinksAir flights as personal flights on FS Hub for flight hours, or visit the Comlux Malta links. There is an active Comlux Malta VA at FS Hub that is now a part of RMAG. Unlike the other RMAG virtual airlines, the Comlux Malta VA has a very loose structure that enables flying RMA and LinksAir flights under a VA banner. There will be an observation period until the release of MSFS2024 in mid-November. What is gleaned from observation will be re-examined as the flight simulation landscape goes through the evolution of a new platform release.
