On July 19, 2018, Robert Patton II formed a private virtual airline (VA) called Sound Airlines using the call letters "SND". Sound Airlines now consists of Chief Executive Officer - Robert Patton, SND001 and is headquartered at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, - KSEA. The purpose to form the airline was strictly to enjoy this hobby of flight simulation through the use of a private virtual airline. I enjoy interacting with other pilots and ATC to enjoy this hobby to the fullest. At Sound Airlines I mainly use General Aviation (GA) aircraft for VFR flights and small to medium range commercial aircraft (piston, turboprop and turbojet aircraft) for hauling cargo and passengers. I am striving to have a fun and realistic virtual flight experience using either Microsoft FS 2004 or X-Plane (versions 11 or 12) simulating an semi-modern airline as it might be today.

Sound Airlines aircraft operations are mainly out of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, Sea-Tac, WA (KSEA). I may from time to time add or delete hubs as necessary. The emphasis here is pure flying and having fun with other virtual pilots who love this hobby just as I do. Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) are located here (needs desperate updating - I'll get to it eventually!): SOP

Remember none of the content on these pages should be used for real world flying! This airline is a private virtual airline! If you do use it for real aircraft operations, don't blame us as you have been warned! I will have both passenger and cargo flights available to fly.
