Think Ace McCool and Down East International, the greatest virtual airline to ever operate the 'Mudgard'. Fifty and an eighth was their landing limits, all aproaches to be flown manually.
For the uninitiated, DEI was the creation of Capt. J. R. Desmarais, an ex-Vanguard pilot from Air Canada. Some of the employees were Ace McCool, CEO, Chief Pilot and master of the airways, Phil Lister, Chief Mechanic, TI (Totally Inept), Churchy Laflamme, Crazy Iris etc. The series was loosely based on the exploits of both Maritime Central and Eastern Provincial Airways. The Vanguard was allegedly a difficult aircraft to land smoothly. Those guys were so good, they had a cabin ordinance sign that proclaimed "Have Landed." <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
