The (Sim) Past Comes to Life
2/1/1935
The route map looks even more different as new routes appear. One in the Coast Division linking Los Angeles and San Francisco. Another in South America?! Soon too will be routes in Alaska. Where did these come from? From Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight (FS9) of course. This is a virtual airline after all and fun is part of the game. So take a look back at where it all started with some of the historical flights included with FS9. All are part of our route system with plenty of handwaving to ensure it's on the up and up. But enjoy some nostalgia from the present time and enjoy our "Historical" flights.

The new division will service the cities of San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Cruz/Watsonville, Monterey, Salinas, Hollister, and Oakland on a three day a week schedule named "Golden State Service".

Major Expansion Underway
1/21/1935
​
In a startling move the Ohio Valley Air Transport Company, based in Cleveland Ohio has announced plans for a true transcontinental route system. "Our competitors are going south. So we're going north. We hope to reach Seattle no later then April" said one source. The Western Star route will eventually stretch across the top of the country to the Pacific Ocean. Just yesterday the route extended from Chicago to St. Paul via Madison, WI. In other news from the airlines plans are in the works for more East Coast options and at least one connection with the Gulf Coast. There are also rumors of a possible domestic airship route system. We'll report here if we have any more news.
