Dawn Flight to Punta Cana

Featured Replies

This is Sunwing 454 from Halifax (CYHZ) to Punta Cana (MDPC).  Real departure time today was about 0600 local, my departure is scheduled for 0630 for the benefit of screenshot lighting (and besides, every Sunwing flight I've been on has been late! :-) )

 

Finishing up baggage loading in Halifax.

Funny, I was looking for that livery today after buying CYYZ. Didn't see in on the Avsim site, where did you download it from?

 

Thanks, 

Jude

Thanks for the comments!

 

Jude, it is in the avsim library:

Certainly lots of flight options out of YYZ for that paint scheme!

I wish PMDG would consider adding the scimitar winglet as an option (purely visual). 

 

Nice pics though, ive been doing a couple flights with Sunwing also. Just make sure to start flying around Europe when the winter season in Canada ends haha!
