About this Aircraft:

   Noel Wien and family pioneered airline services in Alaska starting
back in 1924.  For the next 60 years the Wien fleets flew under various
names, one of which was Northern Consolidated Airlines.  In 1966 I flew
NCA from Anchorage, Alaska to King Salmon AFS, this being my first Air
Force assignment that lasted for 12.5 months and then another flight 
back to Anchorage.  This was on one of their Fairchild/Hiller F-227,
what we referred to as an F-27Fox.  I actually worked part time for 
NCA at King Salmon as a baggage handler along with other AF Folks. In
any case Wien utilized the DHC6 for regional flights through out the
southern portion of Alaska.  This version is one of two that were used,
the other was in the Wien Air Alaska livery...

Cudo's to the FS World:

     First I would like to thank Mr. Barry Blaisdell for making available
his original design for this aircraft. 

     Secondly I wish to thank my good friend Captain Erik F. Ellis for all
his help and instruction on the in's and out's of repainting, and the FDE
changes to the aircraft that I have done...  THANKS Erik...!


     Lastly I want to thank all of the "Hard Work" of the FS World
Authors & Community for all the great tools and add-on's available
for use, making these repaints easier to do...  These folks know 
who they are and unfortunately there are too many to list.  As with
these authors, I only do this for fun and not profit.  Like them I 
enjoy sharing my work (FOR FREE).

        Barry Blaisdell's original text...:

        This aircraft was created by me using AF99 by Abacus Software.
        It also has Moving Props, Control Surfaces and operating
        Landing Lights Added using "Aircraft Animator". FYI, To
        operate the lights press CTRL L to turn them on or off. When
        its dark you can sww the lights on the runway.
     
        To install: UnZip to your FS98\AIRCRAFT Folder using
        WinZip or similar program making sure the paths option
        is turned on.

        Then add your favorite turboprop sound files and panel
        and go flying. I will be adding a Twin Otter instrument panel
        and Turbo Prop sound in the near future.

        Special Thanks to Jens Borgstroem for creating the
        Flight Dynamics for this Aircraft.
