The Flight1 ATR (Nothing in Particular)

I took the Flight1 ATR out for a spin again last night, for the first time in several months. Now that AVSIM's library is back up, I managed to track down an American Eagle livery for it. American Eagle actually ditched all their Saab 340s based out of DFW Airport (KDFW) in favor of ATR-72s within the last year or so. They use these to serve smaller regional stations such as Wichita Falls, San Angelo, Midland/Odessa, Killeen, Lawton, Shreveport (along with some ERJ/CRJ's), and a few others.

Anyway, I had forgotten what fun the ATR is to fly. In that same vein, I am really looking forward to PMDG's JS4100 soon. We don't have any Jetstreams in the skies over Texas anymore, but it will be fun to pretend!

Will post a pic or two soon.
