From The Hangar:
VAW adds 20 Fairchild-Hiller FH-227s to its livery! This turboprop aircraft seats up to 56 and was a workhorse of the 1970's right up to the present. This aircraft was the one that crashed in the Andes on the short flight from Mendoza, Argentina (SAMQ) to Santiago, Chile (SCEL) due to pilot/controller error in 1972 (story of the film Alive). It flies to 21,000 ft and up to 270 mph. Great aircraft! (Note: Take the Andes challenge - depart SAMQ, fly south for about 20 minutes climbing as fast as possible, head 270 when you get to the mountain pass, cross the Andes and head north to SCEL. This is the approximate path of the doomed Uruguayan flight in 1972.)
B737-900 Improvements - Enhanced Fuselage, Landing Gear - improved transition to higher speed steering and better wheel and tire dimensions, improved wing and engine specs!
B787-800 Improvements - New Cockpit Panel views based on Boeing designs! Updated wing specs, skins, fuselage. 787 now handles better with flaps - more level flight on takeoff and approach with more realistic speeds as well!

Victor Airways is proud to use Boeing's 787-800 Dreamliner as its primary aircraft. VAW purchased the first 50 of Boeing's 787 in January 2005 through a multi-billion dollar contract and rush order, becoming the first airline in the world to begin operations with the Dreamliner. VAW Pilots received advanced training on the 787 in Fall 2004 and the airline began service in January 2005.
