February 22, 201115 yr In celebrating our 13th anniversary Air Fresno has decided to go strictly payware and operate only the Beech 1900C for all of our operations. In the beginning we started using the Beech 1900D of Marty Baclawski and Tony Bolton, then when we switched to FS98 it was Barry Blaisdell and Bob May and Mike Stone. For FS2004 we used Beech 1900D's from the GMAX Academy, it wasn't until last year I finally broke down and bought the PMDG Express 1900D. I loved it so much I bought the 1900C as well, and as of March 1, 2011 we have decided as an airline to use ONLY the PMDG Express Beech 1900C for all operations. I did have to buy one for the one pilot that had not yet bought one for herself, but since then she has said she wouldn't want to fly anything else. On our website we offer the current livery texture set and will be offering the classic Air Fresno scheme from 2001 in the next week. Our pilot roster has jumped by several members since our current livery textures were uploaded to flightsim.com a few weeks ago and I have interest emails nearly every day. Many thought that going with strictly a payware fleet would have been suicide but for us it has only strengthened our airline. We're not the oldest VA out here, nor are we the largest, but the PMDG fleet has certainly given us a new life in what has often been a boring hobby. Thanks.
