Keeping KAPA and KDEN made more sense than KDEN/KCOS. While I believe the long-range plan will certainly support additional bases, I want to just focus on two at this time. I opened a new base at KDEN and eventually closed the base and factory at Colorado Springs KCOS. But sometimes reality just needs to give way to imagination. Of course I would also be just as surprised to witness a 737 landing there as well. While technically the runway at KAPA is long enough for the B744 to land (based on Air Hauler 2 specifications), living just about 5 miles and on the approach path of the 17’s, I would be surprised if I ever were to see a 747 going into KAPA. The remaining two B738’s, two B757’s and the Queen are based at KDEN. I keep the Connie’s based at KAPA along with two B738’s. The fleet now consists of three Connie’s, four 738’s, two 757’s and the one 744. I was able to keep all the current pilots, train them onto different aircraft between the remaining Connie’s, B738’s and B757’s. In doing this, I also decided to sell off all the King Air aircraft. I did go ahead and purchase the Boeing 747-400 for heavier and longer cargo operations. Since the last update from a few weeks ago, I’ve made even more progress in my overall expansion plans.
