Mcdonalds own aircraft

Chief Captain

Do McDonalds resturant have thier own aircarft. I remember being told about it but I searched the internet and found nothing!

I think its a boeing with red paint all over and the golden arches 'M' on the tail. I also think you get served only mcdonalds food on the flight and it does charter flights to theme parks.......

Is there true or not? Is there a website for it anywhere- anyone know where it is now or got a photo?

Cheers,
Andrew

Now that we are on the topic of DC-3's, here is a Cookie Time design that has been turned into a cafe in NZ:

LOL- I been inside that McDonalds DC-3 in Taupo in your pic radarman, but it aint the plane I'm talking about.

The one I'm looking for is a jet aircraft....anyone know anything?

I looked around but didn't find one, that doesn't mean there isn't one somewhere.

That is indeed true Tailhook.

Human Population: 4,000,000
Sheep Population: 40,000,000

That is 10 sheep to every person!

Well people, after a little bit more research I can confirm it's true- there is a mcdonalds jet airplane!

Infact it is called the 'McPlane' and it is a MD-83 operated by Crossair of Switzerland!

Heres a picture I found of it and you can see the Swiss Cross below the M on the tail and the word cross air written on the engines!

LMAO- I want one for fs2004!

So what is it just an advertisement for McDonalds like the Ryanair plane that was given a Jaguar cars repaint?

Nope its not an advertisement, heres the real story: "the idea for the McPlane was originally born in the innocent brain of the youngster of a Crossair manager - asking his dad why he couldn't have a hamburger on a plane. Kids can be very insisting on things like that, and dad himself wasn't very satisfied with his answer. Yes, why not? The idea fell on good grounds almost everywhere and in less than a year McPlane(tm) was 'materialized'." You can read the full story here: http://www.mediamerger.ch/christian/hgr/md83.php

Well, I managed to download it from flightsim.com (the fs2002 version works fine in fs2004) thanks to a link from Radarman, and here are some screenshots I took while testing the ole' bird out at Las Vegus:

Hope you like the shots- read the thread here for the aircraft and repaint links; https://forum.flyawaysimulation.com/forum/topic/10134/mcdonalds-md-83-mcplane-please/
