Details[edit]

Can someone help fill this article in? The information I added is from multiple websites which seem to list the same information so I believe that it is correct. However I was not able to put it all into a clean format since a lot of detail is missing. Vegaswikian 21:02, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

MD-80?[edit]

83.77.22.180 edited the fleet list of this article earlier this morning, replacing the Do328 with the MD-80. I haven't heard anything about this and couldn't find anything about this with a quick Google search, and Vision's website is still pretty useless. A check of FlightAware shows one of their Do328s, N328MX, operating GCM-VGT yesterday.[1] I've reverted the change, of course if someone can find a reference of Vision's fleet change of course correct the article. :) -- Hawaiian717 15:05, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vision's website has crashed. Maybe too many curiosity seeks. No worry, I'm sure there are no racy pictures of Anna Chapman! Suomi Finland 2009 (talk) 15:25, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Spy Swap[edit]

why bother, when the article doesn't mention that Vision is a CIA company, either. [2], [3] etc --Snottily (talk) 11:22, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

They do however fly to Cuba (which is fairly rare for an American airline) Summerinside (talk) 14:15, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Look, only one edit from late January to today then a whole bunch. Vision Airlines is getting a lot of free advertising! Suomi Finland 2009 (talk) 15:24, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

>> Thing is we all know it is a CIA company. Their aircraft are regularly seen at remote stands in Las Vegas embarking or disembarking people coming from CIA or other facilities in the Nevada desert. There's no proof of this though so we can't include it in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.23.85.177 (talk) 17:01, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The CIA doesn't need to use it's own company. They just chartered a plane. There are plenty of ways to transport the spies.

Wikipedia shows that there is an American airline called World and North American. Both could have done the job. Also the USAF has planes like, according to Wikipedia, the C-17 and 757. Some USAF planes have no insignia, like the one that took Bill Clinton to Pakistan. The CIA also has rendition planes. Vision is just a scrappy company that said "hey, we have a bunch of planes sitting around doing nothing." Suomi Finland 2009 (talk) 17:12, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Airline Headquarters[edit]

Does anyone know if Vision Airlines is headquartered in North las Vegas or Atlanta. A press release announcing the launch of SDF-ATL on December 13 mentions that the airline is based in Atlanta, GA. Snoozlepet (talk) 23:34, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

CIA flights[edit]

Vision Air has been suspected of involvement in the CIA extraordinary rendition flights (or torture flights, whatever you want to call them). Their unmarked jets with very faint registration numbers have been spotted at the known airports, and this article in the Associated Press discusses its ties to the CIA: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:liFeTFkAnewJ:www.associatedcontent.com/article/5569978/vision_airlines_flies_spies_diplomats.html+vision+air+cia&cd=3&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us Shouldn't this be included in the article?

Do they still exist?[edit]

FAA lists a Robinson helicopter belonging to a "Vision Aviation" in Arizona, and a Piper belonging to another "Vision Aviation" in Indiana. best, 213.235.48.244 (talk) 10:22, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
