Are we going to get the 747SP in 1976 in the new game round?

The next round starts in the 60s, so probobly not. We might get 747-100 tho

well the SP could show up right at the end if the rumored 1965 start holds...

that´s what I thought, only "short" routes :?

it should be more challenging though, we would see a lot more hubs

Well, but there could (should) still be the 731 and 732. I quote from Wikipedia again:

Quote

The first 737-100 made its maiden flight on 9 April 1967 piloted by Brien Wygle and Lew Wallick[5] and entered service in February 1968 with Lufthansa, the first non-American airline to launch a new Boeing aircraft. The 737-200 made its maiden flight on 8 August 1967. Lufthansa was the only significant customer to purchase the 737-100 and only 30 aircraft were ever produced. The lengthened 737-200 was widely preferred and was produced until 1988. The launch customer of the 737-200 was United Airlines. The inaugural flight for United was flown on 28 April 1968 from Chicago O'Hare (ORD) to Grand Rapids, Michigan (GRR). After aircraft #135, a series of improvements were incorporated in to the 737-200. This became known as the 737-200 Advanced, which became the production standard.

So it should be buyable from '67 or '68.

Hmmm... interesting idea.

I had heard about the start being 60 though.

So the rounds end up being

60-70
70-80
80-90
90-00
00-08(by the next time we get there)

It looks like we'll have the DC8, DC9, 707 and 727 to boot pretty much, and I suppose DC3- up to the DC7 for props and so on and so on...

I think I know what my fleet is going to be at this time... ;-)

Three jet types, and a few propeller types...

That's all Im sayin...

Oh, and will the profile feature work again next round? For some reason, I can't update my profile... Eh, I won't worry about that this round; there are only a few years left...
