Just Flight, in partnership with Thranda Design, has released the 146 Professional for X-Plane 11.
This detailed simulation of the 146 regional jet is based on a real-life aircraft, G-JEAO, which retired from service with British European Airways in 2000 and is now preserved at the de Havilland Aircraft Museum and the CC.Mk2 and C.Mk3 aircraft of Royal Air Force, 32 (The Royal) Squadron.
Making its maiden flight in 1981, the 146-100 was followed by the stretched 200 series in 1982 and 300 series in 1988. The Royal Air Force purchased three 146-100s in 1986, which were operated by The Queen s Flight, designated the CC. Mk2 Statesman and equipped with VIP cabins. The aircraft were used to transport the British royal family and senior members of the UK military and government.

This month marks 68 years since the Vickers Viscount was introduced into commercial service with British European Airways (BAE). Notably, the British medium-range production became the first turboprop aircraft to conduct passenger operations. Along with this achievement, its modern capabilities enabled it to become a significant success in the industry.

The Vickers Viscount was one of the few types from Britain to sell well in North America. With durable Rolls-Royce turboprop engines supporting the plane, operators flocked to it, with post-war sales only outdone by the smaller Havilland Dove.
