I suppose UT can be wrong. I notice that

direct flights to Cuba from the USA? Ultimate
Traffic shows direct flights to Havama, Santiago, and
Holguin from several US cities.


They are licensed charters, their operation is perfectly legal. Some
categories of US passport holders are allowed to go to Cuba...


Well, there are all kinds of crazy things in FS2004.
One of the "virtual" airlines in FS includes direct
flights between Anchorage and Damascus on a
747-400. I would thinm that Anchorage to Damascus
would be just a little bit too far for a 747 (but not too
far for a 777-200LR, 777-300, A340-500, or
A380).

Maybe 747-400ER?

Design range with 420 three class pax at 396,895kg (875,000lb) MTOW
13,491km (7284nm)
747-400ER - Range at MTOW 14,205km

Distance between Anchorage, Alaska, United States and Damascus, Syria,
as the crow flies:
5901 miles (9497 km) (5128 nautical miles)

Boeing of course also had the technical specifications for the Boeing
747-400:

Figured it had to be. There is NO MD-88.
There is the MD80, MD82, MD83, and MD90,
but there is no such thing as the MD88.

Really? Delta owns over a hundred of them. 16 different airlines
operated them; 7 still do. Why don't you think they exist?

From http://www.airliners.net/info/stats.main?id=109 :

McDonnell Douglas renamed the DC-9-80 the MD-80 in 1983. The MD-80
designation however is a generic designation for the series and does
not apply to a certain model type. The specific MD-80 models are the
initial MD-81, the MD-82 with more powerful JT8D-217s, the extended
range MD-83 with extra fuel and more efficient JT8D-219s, **** and the
MD-88 (first flight August 1987) with the JT8D-219s of the MD-83 with
an EFIS flightdeck and redesigned cabin interior **** , with other
improvements.

There most certainly is. It is the most numerous plane in Delta's fleet.

MD-83, MD-88, or MD-90 aircraft, and

renwed my suscription.

One other change I see is that the latest UT
update has removed Hellinokin in Athens. I guess
they finally closed that airport down, becuase the
latest UT schedules has Hellinokin (ATX) removed
from its database of airports. I know it has been
rumored that they intended to close Hellinokin,
and I guess they finally did
And what happened to passenger service at
Mirabel in Montreal? The only flights that UT
shows out of Mirabel now are cargo flightsl.

Pax service ceased last year sometime. I think AirTransat was one of the last
carriers to move to YUL (dorval). I remember seeing the terminal interior in
the last days of pax service. workers out numbered pax.

Maybe they'll turn the terminal area to a big warehouse for cargo.
