This service was a free aircraft re-painting service in which we did fs-paints for virtual airlines on select add-ons free of charge on the condition that the tail said “NE Leasing” on it in rather large text, a little like our “leasing plan” today. This service really “took-off ” and we were able to really get our name around the community, the only problem being the high cost to operate the service with absolutey no monetary reward. This led to the addition of several other services to the NE outfit, including webdesign, webhosting for va’s, and graphics design all offered for a small fee (aircraft paints were still free). As times changed and NE grew we eventually outgrew our server(s) and were forced to make a switch which ended up costing much more than we had a nticipated, this led to what seemed to be the ultimate destruction of NE Leasing. With our servers swamped, and our website going on and off-line constantly we were forced to close the doors (so it seemed for good). We passed all of our current webhosting customers off to another host and ceased to offer all services.”
