Livery Details
A colorful, unique livery for JSX known as the “Spirit of Santa Monica”, applied to one of the airline’s ATR 42-600s.

Why should this livery be added?
From what I could find, this livery was conceived due to the airline starting services to Santa Monica around December 2025 - though not with another one of their Embraers, instead with ATR 42s, such as this very one above. This notably different aircraft choice was primarily made to comply with noise restrictions around Santa Monica, as the airport is surrounded by quite a lot of residential area.Though, as a nice bit of history, and possibly an extra reason as to why they chose the ATRs:
Akin to the rest of their fleet, the ATR-42s are operated in a 30-seat configuration - notably similar to that of the DC-3, which took its first flight in Santa Monica, and was largely an integral part of the airport’s history, with Douglas even being headquartered there up until around the 1960s - around the time they merged with McDonnell.So, with that context established, I think that this livery should be added because it’d be quite a pretty event livery to see represented in-game, one that honors the legacy of aviation in California, and one that would work as a little nice addition to JSX’s fleet, maybe even with the standard AT46 they’re operating right now.
