FS2004 Rutaca Vinotinto Boeing 737-200 YV-216C

Rutaca (Venezuelan domestic airline) B737-300, registration YV-216C, with the colors of the Venezuelan Football (Soccer) National Team and company's tourism branch. Based on pictures June 9th 2004 by Juan A. Chiossone K. This plane flies to any place the Vinotinto plays a football game, full of fans. Model by FFX/SGA, repaint by Alejandro Hurtado.

Searching in the web I founded a group of pictures taken by Juan A. Chiossone K. at Aeropuerto del Caribe Int'l Santiago Marino (IATA: PMV ICAO: SVMG) on June 9th 2004. As I like to play football, and the "Vinotinto" is the Venezuelan Football (Soccer) National Team, Why don't make a repaint of this plane?

Yakeetour (A tours agency) made a deal with Rutaca where the last will paint one of his planes with this decoration, and each "Vinotinto" game there will be a certain quantity of seats reserved to Yakeetour in this plane, in a charter flight. If you want to see the original pictures, just download the ones of Juan A. Chiossone K (rut737vt.zip).

About the Boeing 737, everybody knows about it. It was supposed to be a short range, self-depending plane with a quantity of common parts with the 707 and 727. At the beginning was a selling failure, but bit to bit started to improve the cash flow of Boeing, and now it is one of the five commercial planes with more than 1000 units sold. When the airlines requested Boeing to improve and enhance the plane, the underwing position of the engines made this so difficult that Boeing was almost ready to close the production line and start with another plane. So good they had second thoughts.
