This is one of a set of fictional Virgin Atlantic “flying icons” for the Cessna CJ4 Citation. The original flying icons made their debut on the Airbus A350-1000 in 2018/2019 and were created by award winning illustrator Toby Tinsley and his team consisting of Fay Dalton, Mike Griggs, and Michael Adamidis. Per Virgin Atlantic, the creation of these new flying icon designs is meant to show the diverse range of men and women representing modern Britain today.
Call signs have been removed and ATC will refer to the planes by their respective names (i.e.: Virgin Atlantic Daley, Virgin Atlantic Rey, etc.). Liveries are compatible and tested with the Working Title CJ4 mod, and this is a drag-n-drop livery so you can simply drag the folder into your Community folder and fly straight away.
I’m still searching for a high-resolution image of the flying icon Aria, which is the official flying icon for flights between London and Delhi, as I plan to create a livery featuring Aria as soon as possible. Incidentally, Aria is the name of Sir Richard Branson’s great, great, grandfather.
Happy flying!

Do you have a chance to get the Civitation Longitude Virgin Liveries?

I never created a livery for the Longitude before so I just test-painted the Longitude and there's good and bad news.
I can create a Virgin Atlantic livery but I will have to use my fictional Virgin Atlantic logo for the tail like I just did for my Virgin Atlantic Boeing 787 Dreamliner liveries. Check them out and you'll see the logo I had to create.
The Longitude livery is like the 787 as what's painted on one side of the tail "mirrors" to the other side - in reverse. Lettering becomes reversed. :( The rudder is in two parts so that makes it even more challenging, but not too hard with my custom logo.
The good news is the flying icons and light-purple Virgin Atlantic letting can be painted onto the fuselage without any trouble.
Let me know if you want a "Meera" livery but in the meantime, I'm going ahead and creating a livery paint kit that I can use for this and other future liveries. When it's the first time I paint a livery on a plane I've never painted before, it takes me a few days (on and off) for me to set it all up correctly.
Okay, cheers!
