SunChaser Aviation
The RMAG South Florida operation bases in Key West, Florida, and specializes in vintage-style Floridian commercial aviation, and modern general aviation.
For vintage-style fun around Florida, a network of vintage propliner flights around the Sunshine State has been built. Flights from the 1970's Air Sunshine DC-3 and Convair 240 (base pack//textures) services connected the Keys with major southern and central Florida cities. The Air Sunshine name would go on to be used by other entities, with the most recent being one largely based in Puerto Rico.
There's also Vintage Air, a DC-3-only airline owned by Richard Branson in the mid-1980s. Services linked Key West with Fort Lauderdale and Kissimmee. Of course, it wouldn't be Florida vintage flying without Pan Am. The Dash 7 and Beech Duke (piston; Pan Am actually had one - N710PA) are offered on intra-Florida routes. Finally, there is Naples Airlines, which became a division of PBA, connecting Naples to Tampa and Miami briefly in Eastern Express livery (timetable here). DC-3 liveries for all of these carriers are included in the RMAG download packages for FSX/P3D:

Thanks to Manfred Jahn and his team for the wonderful aircraft, and all the great livery painters (credited within the downloads) for giving her a host of civil and military liveries.
As for the general aviation component of the flying club, services between the Keys and Palm Beach are open to all aircraft types within the FS Hub tracking client. The shorter runway lengths of the islands serve to keep aircraft choices limited to those that can operate on 5000-foot runways.
Where the GA part of SunChaser really lives is in the ad hoc charters to and from the Keys. This operation has Galveston, Texas as a focus city, and operates the Embraer Phenom 300 for jet charter services. These jet services may involve emergency transportation for oil rig workers out of Galveston, or college football game charters within the SEC footprint. The textures and SunChaser callsign for N33040 are found within the RMA Phenom 300 download on the Fleet page. Phenom 300 N54RM bases at KGLS, and is available here. The PC-12 pictured is available in the download linked on the Fleet page. Also operated are light twin piston props, like the Beech Baron and Duke, and single turboprops, like the Piper Meridian or members of the TBM family, but these are left to the individual pilot's discretion. The smallest member of the fleet is a Lancair Legacy, used for rentals and occasional flight crew repositioning. N33045 is painted as if the Conch Republic had an air force, complete with "Honey Moon" nose art. The FS Hub map displays the Florida service area, with the GA piston types generally not venturing north of the Fort Meyers-West Palm Beach line. Single turboprops have been known to serve the Bahamas, as well as the Florida panhandle area.
College football charters during the season will be updated weekly on FS Hub.
