| RAF Catterick |
|
File Description:
RAF Catterick is located alongside the A1 on the outskirts of Catterick Village. Operationally it falls under the command of Catterick Garrison. It currently houses 5th Regiment Royal Artillery and 32 Engineer Regiment.
Catterick airfield first opened in 1914 as a Royal Flying Corps aerodrome with the role of training pilots and to assist in the defence of the North East of England. It came under RAF administration in 1918 and housed Number 49 Training Depot.
In 1927, it temporarily came under the administration of the British Army, under the Army Air Co-Operation Command which would supply the army with any air support needs that would be required. This continued until 1939 when the station was handed back to the RAF.
During the Second World War, the airfield operated a small satellite station called RAF Scorton near the village of Scorton.
Catterick's runway could not be extended from its existing 3,350 ft (1,020 m) for the jet age due to the perimeter being bounded by the Great North Road (A1) and the River Swale. Therefore, Catterick's importance declined after the Second World War, though it still housed training institutes for many years.

| P51B #43-7061 'Old 7' |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the P-51B/C model for FSX by Warbirdsim. It shows 'Old 7', 43-7061, which was the pride and joy of the 2nd FS/52nd FG. It flew over 125 operational missions, amassing 778 flying hours and shot down at least 8 enemy aircraft, without suffering a single mechanical failure. It was lovingly maintained at first by S/Sgt Vincent Reagan, and later by S/Sgts James Lynes and C.G. Jones. By december 1944, it was the oldest aircraft in the 2nd FS, and it remained so. The officers and men of the 2nd FS were so proud of 'Old 7' that they tried to have her sent to the US for a warbond tour, but the Air Force was not interested. During its long career, it served as the regular mount for Capt. Arthur Johnston (who named it Marie and flew it as QP-M), Capt. William DeForest (when it was changed to Myrtle and QP-7) and Lt. Thomas Hoover, as well as several other pilots. Repaint by JanKees Blom, based on the warbirdsim paintkit.

File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the DeHavilland DH98 Mosquito by Dave Garwood, in the colors of W4072 GB-D, a B Mk.IV of 105 squadron. On 25 june 1942, while being loaned to 139 squadron, it was being flown by Flt Lt Bagguley on a night attack on Stade aerodrome near Hamburg. He attacked the town of Dorum, near Bremerhaven. On leaving the target, instead of closing the bombdoors, he accidenatly lowered the flaps. These were torn away due to the speed of over 380 mph, and on arrival back at Horsham St Faith, W4072 overshot the runway, with the right undercarriage collapsing in a ditch. W4072 was delivered to 105 sqn on 27 februari 1942, and took part in the first bomb raid carried out by Mosquito's, when sqn ldr Oekeshott took it to Cologne on 31 May 1942. After the prang in june, W4072 was repaired and flew more missions with 105 sqn. Damaged again in March 1943, she passed to 627 sqn (AZ-Q), but crashed in the North Sea returning from a raid on Frankfurt on 8 january 1944. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by Dave Garwood.

| FSX Grumman F9F RNLN VSQ3 LATE |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This livery represents a fictional "What if" repaint of the magnificent payware Grumman F9F-5 by VertigoStudios in a Royal Netherlands Navy Livery.
The aircraft resembles what it would look like if the Dutch government chose the Grumman F9F Panther over the Hawker Seahawk as their primary
attack fighter operating from the sole Dutch Navy aircraft carrier from the late 40-ies till the early 60-ies; the HRMS Karel Doorman (CV, R81,
Colossus Class). The Dutch navy operated two other aircraft carriers prior to this one (small MAC escort carriers, which were basically modified tankers),
but the R81 was the first and only real aircraft carrier ever operational within the Royal Netherlands Navy, and to operate jet-fighters from.
This particular livery of the F9F is in a typical grey & duck-egg green pattern resembling all Dutch naval aircraft of that era, carrier- and land based.
This livery with the "V" marking denotes that the aircraft has NAS Valkenburg as home base instead of the (back then) available aircraft carrier
"Karel Doorman", of which all aircraft were marked with a "D". You need the payware VertigoStudios F9F for FSX in order to use this repaint.

| Wien Air Alaska '1984' Boeing 727-277 Adv. |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a repaint of the 727-277 in Wien Air Alaska 1984 colors. The freeware 727-200 by Tenkuu Developers Studio (TDS) is needed for this repaint. Wien Air Alaska was Alaska’s oldest major airline, and one of America's oldest. They inaugurated their first scheduled flights between Fairbanks and Nome on June 20, 1927. Wien operated various piston airliners before they formally entered the turboliner era with the acquisition of 2 Fairchild F-27As in 1958-59. In the early 1970s Wien was making good profits. However, 1977 was a particularly bad year as their pilots went on a major strike, and they posted a net loss of $742,000; a substantial amount for the airline. They made a recovery in 1979-80. Their route system was 10,500 miles long and they flew to over 150 points in Alaska, Canada, and Seattle. By 1981 their revenues climbed 42.8% to $180.7 million, the highest ever for the airline. However, further financial problems hit Wien heavily and they closed for business on November 28, 1984. Wien had 4 727-200s in their fleet. This repaint was tested on FSX-SE. It should work on FSX & P3D v1-3.

| RAF Molesworth |
|
File Description:
At the start of World War II the Air Ministry selected the area as the site for what would become RAF Molesworth. The base was built in 1940 and 1941. The first unit, Royal Australian Air Force 460 Squadron was formed at the base on November 15, 1941 with Vickers Wellington IVs. 460 Squadron departed the field on January 4, 1942. RAF Bomber Command 159 squadron moved in shortly afterwards, however this unit did not remain long, moving to the Middle East on January 12.
Molesworth was one of the early Eighth Air Force stations assigned to the United States Army Air Force (USAAF). In February 1942, General Ira Eaker and four US staff members inspected Molesworth for possible American use, and during 1942 the facility was improved to Class A airfield standard, with all of its runways extended to American specifications for heavy 4-engined bombers. The main runway was lengthened to 2,000 yards and the number of hardstands increased to fifty. It was given USAAF designation as Station 107.
From 16 September 1943 – 18 June 1945, Molesworth served as headquarters for the 41st Combat Bombardment Wing of the 1st Bomb Division.

This is a repaint for the freeware Warwick "Wozza" Carter AT-6G Texan. This repaint depicts the restored Harvard Mk.4 RCAF Ser. 20405, N3405, registered to Yellow Canuck, LLC (Texas Flying Legends Museum). This aircraft began service with the Royal Canadian AF in 1952 and served until 1965. Although little information is readily available, it was reported that as of 1978, the aircraft was being stored, in original military configuration, in Mesa, Arizona. In about 2004 a ground-up restoration began in North Dakota and around 2011/2012 the aircraft was brought to Aircorps Aviation of Bemidji, Minnesota for completion. The aircraft has since been delivered to its current owner, painted in its original RCAF colors, and is an absolutely immaculate and authentic restoration throughout. The aircraft is one of 11 warbirds that the Texas Flying Legends Museum will be flying to Airventure 2013. This repaint includes all new exterior textures (including specular and bump maps), new engine and modified wheel well textures, and new and modified cockpit textures throughout. This repaint requires the files t6texmod.zip and fsds_t-6update.zip to be installed first.

File Description:
This is a repaint of the DC-3 in Olympic Airways colors. The freeware DC-3/C-47 v3 by Manfred Jahn is needed for this repaint. Greece's Olympic Airways was founded by the enigmatic shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, in 1957. He was the only individual in the world of that day to own a national airline. In July 1956, the Greek State signed an agreement with Onassis, for the exclusive use of air transport in Greece. On April 6, 1957 Olympic Airways came onto the scene by replacing Greece's previous national airline; TAE. Olympic received their first jet in 1960, the DH Comet. Olympic Airways' Olympic rings logo was the definition of the golden years of civil aviation, classy and very eye-catching. Due to tragedy striking Onassis in 1973 with the death of his only son, who was a pilot himself and was going to be the new head of Olympic Airways. Onnasis heartbroken, sold Olympic to the Greek state a few months later. He passed away himself in 1975. Olympic operated over a dozen DC-3s. This repaint was tested on FSX-SE and should work on FSX & P3D v1-3.
