The story behind the livery
SATA — Serviço Açoriano de Transportes Aéreos — was the regional airline of the Portuguese Azores, connecting the remote Atlantic islands to the mainland and to each other. Founded in 1941, SATA operated the Vickers Viscount as one of its primary aircraft during the early 1970s, flying routes across the mid-Atlantic that demanded a reliable and capable turboprop. The combination of the elegant Viscount and the dramatic Azorean landscape makes this one of the most evocative subjects in European regional aviation history.
SATA's Viscount livery has been almost entirely overlooked by the mainstream decal industry, making this set the definitive resource for modelers wanting to recreate this distinctive and historically significant Atlantic island airline.
