November 14, 20178 yr It's been a "thought" for some time and I simply do not have the skills to do it or, I would! I envision the ultimate redneck airline with matching aircraft. The picture in my mind includes total backwoods/ swamp dweller, crew and airline name. As for the aircraft, tons of duct tape and bailing wire holding things together, obvious air frame patches, perhaps even a huge jet engine tied/ duct taped onto the top of the fuselage of some older propeller passenger aircraft. Sometimes, my mind goes to strange places without me...
November 14, 20178 yr Well...Southwest Airlines was founded in Texas. EASA PPL SEPL + NQ / CB-IR in progress MSFS24 | X-Plane 12
November 14, 20178 yr The C-119 Flying Boxcar has a jet engine strapped to it . Should be a good start for a redneck airline . Or base it on Eddie's airlines.. .

November 15, 20178 yr It doesn't get more Redneck then the Red Green Show: Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me
November 15, 20178 yr You get someone to make the aircraft and I will create the home base if you will, complete with mobile home terminal, outhouses, broken down cars everywhere, and of course a Wal Mart just outside the airport! 😁
November 15, 20178 yr How about adding some bullet holes peppering the texture of whichever aircraft you use?..... "Is that Crazy Walt down there?" "Yup.." Hooo-eee!! Y'all hold ma beer 'n watch this. It'll be a hoot..." Seconds later.. amidst several shotgun blasts... "Well dadgum!! Crazy Walt sure is an ornery old bugger this time of year!" Think he only got part of the rudder...." "HEY WALT!!.. Ya'll better watch your step less'n I duct tape a pair o' .50 cals to this sucker!!" Apologies for blatant stereotyping of the redneck and its accents.

November 18, 20178 yr The pilot would have to wear a pair of coveralls with no shirt on under them and some boots. Maybe a Bass Pro Shops hat. A mullet and a weeks worth of facial hair would round out the official look. I am thinking something like Daisy off The Dukes of Hazard for the stewardess. Either that or some woman in a housecoat, slippers, hair in rollers and a cigarette hanging out of her mouth. 😭. Ground support equipment would be an old rusted out pickup with a couple 55 gallon drums of fuel in the back and a siphon hose.
November 18, 20178 yr You could have Scuzz Twittly playing on a radio in the hangar.... unless that going a bit TOO far Mark Robinson Part-time Ferroequinologist Author of FLIGHT: A near-future short story (ebook available on amazon) I made the baby cry - A2A Simulations L-049 Constellation Sky Simulations MD-11 V2.2 Pilot.
