Fellow Pilots.
Today has been a busy day for me, I have expanded the Historical Schedules even further.
Today I wish to welcome Air Gabon Historical to the team, with it brings as usual exciting new destination around Africa.
The Following have been added to the Skeds.
Gabon
Akieni (AKE/FOGA)
Booue (BGB/FOGB)
Fougamou (FOU/FOGF)
Koulamoutou (KOU/FOGK)
Mekambo (MKB/FOOE)
Minvoul (MVX/FOGV)
Moabi (FOGI/MGX)
Ndende (KDN/FOGE)
N'Djole (KDJ/FOGJ)
Okondja (OKN/FOGQ)
Oyem (OYE/FOGO)
Sao Tome & Principe
Sao Tome (TMS/FPST)
Also a new type comes to the Historical Program (Although it is NOT YET available for release [still gathering data])
So, go grab the new destinations.
More will follow soon, I hope.
Within the coming weeks I will release a press release on what is happening on the Historical Side of things, where we stand, whats coming etc etc.

Nice, good job! I'm really curious about the new type. I hope it's a jet, though I really don't know which one we're missing!

In fact there will also be a new Jet aswell. But didn't have time to sort data out before I did the schedules. I will be doing tje data collecting this week at some point. I will be revisiting the sjeds to replace the current type shown for the vast majority of the Air Gabon Flights. They have all been added under the HS748 type for now. So those eagle eyed folks would notice that some 748 flights are time quicker than ither 748 flights. The quicker ones will become F-28s.

oh, the F-28, I'm looking forward to fly it! Speaking of jets we don't have I remembered that TAROM operated BAC 1-11s and later ROMBAC 1-11s for more than thirty years, until the early 2000s. It would be nice to see more historical aircraft coming in the future.

Silvian, we can only add aircraft that have relevence to Air France and KLM and subsideries. TAROM is just a codeshare partner, so it is unlikely we will see the BAC or ROMBAC 1 11 added... A future type will be the Vickers Viscount both AF and KLM operated them.
As I said originally said above. I will be creating a press release on whats going on behind the historical scene and outline further developments. Watch this space ---->
