File Description: This is a repaint of the DC-8-54 in Universal Airlines colors. The payware DC-8-50-70 by JustFlight is needed for this repaint. Universal Airlines was a U.S. supplemental carrier that operated from 1966 to 1972. It was based at Willow Run Airport in Ypsilanti, Michigan. It was initially known as Zantop Air Transport. In 1967 the Zantop family sold the airline and it became Universal Airlines. Universal operated military charters for the USAF, in addition to their normal charter operations. The Lockeed L-188 Electras were introduced in 1967, and Universal added DC-8s, both standard and stretched versions, to their fleet in 1969. They also leased three additional DC-8s over the next three years. On June 4, 1970, Universal purchased American Flyers Airline, another supplemental carrier. Costs, led by fuel price increases, prevented the carrier from earning sufficient revenues to sustain the new merger. On May 4, 1972 Universal declared bankruptcy and shut its doors. Its USAF contract, together with the aircraft, were taken over by Saturn Airways. This repaint was tested on FSX-SE. It should work on FSX & P3D v1-3.
