FS2004 Alidair Viscount 708 1975

Alidair’s Vickers Viscount 708 gets its 1975 paint scheme for FS2004, recreating an ex–Air Inter airframe that later became known for a notable 1980 fuel-starvation diversion near Exeter. The textures capture the airline’s early fleet identity and classic turboprop lines, and requires the FSDS Viscount 700 model by Rick Piper.
