Fellow Simviators

May is upon us and while I had a few interesting ideas for this month's contest, recent events within the aviation industry allowed me to shift focus and try something different. It was rather unfortunate seeing the closure of the low cost carrier Spirit Airlines and while many folks despised their business practices and in some cases their service, others enjoyed the ability to fly at an affordable airfare more suited to their budget.

We won't use this as a discussion piece into why they did not survive but we know the last few years has been a struggle for the company to keep afloat after enduring engine problems with some of their newly purchased NEOs being grounded as a result.

However, we we use this month's contest to pay tribute to Spirit and their dedicated team members who kept the carrier going for 34 years (1992 - 2026).

Rules of engagement!!

All images must have a Spirit livery of some sort to be considered and or there may be something within the terminal/ground services environment to reflect that it is owned and or operated by Spirit Airlines.
