SunChaser Aviation
The RMAG South Florida operation bases in Key West, Florida, and St Croix, USVI, specializing in vintage-style area 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. There's Vintage Air, a DC-3-only airline owned by Richard Branson in the mid-1980s. Services linked Key West with Fort Lauderdale and Kissimmee. There is also Naples Airlines, which became a division of PBA, connecting Naples to Tampa and Miami briefly in Eastern Express livery (timetable here). Of course, it wouldn't be Florida vintage flying without Pan Am, but there are several Pan Am VAs out there, already. 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.
SunChcaser operations in the eastern Caribbean involve VIP jets connecting Palm Beach, and Aero Virgin Islands (along with those of predecessor CaribAir) DC-3s doing the island-hopping. DC-3 liveries for all of these carriers are included in the RMAG download packages for FSX/P3D:
NOTAM: X-Plane 11+ pilots, don't feel left out. Your solution is here.
Thanks to Manfred Jahn and team for the wonderful aircraft, and all the great livery painters (credited within the downloads).
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 and Palm Beach. 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 Key West-based N33040 are found within the RMA Phenom 300 download on the Fleet page. For extra Phenom 300 liveries: N54RM bases at KGLS, and N414RM bases at Palm Beach. The PC-12 pictured is available in the download linked on the Fleet page. Also operated are light twin piston props, like the Baron, Duke, Seneca, and single turboprops, like the Piper Meridian or members of the TBM family, but these are left to the individual pilot's discretion. 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. Check the Charters page for upcoming events.
