File Description:
Five repaints for the Aerosoft PBY-5 Catalina in the colors of PBY-5's operated by Qantas on the 'Double Sunrise Service' between Western Australia and Ceylon between 1943 and 1945.
In 1943, Royal Australian Air Force personnel were seconded to operate Catalinas under the banner of Qantas. The plan called for flights between Perth, Western Australia, and RAF Base Koggala in southern Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). The flights were the longest non-stop air route of any airline, over 3,500 nautical miles (6,480 km) across the Indian Ocean. Navigating without the aid of radio, the crews relied solely on rudimentary navigation by compass and stars during the trip.
Only Catalinas had that kind of range, so five PBY-5 flying boats were converted to make them suitable for the trip.
They received camouflage paint, with a RAAF roundel on the fuselage, but also a civilian registration, since they were officialy operated by Qantas, and they were named after the stars they would be using for navigation:
Vega Star (G-AGFL/FP221 - tail code 1)
Altair Star (G-AGFM/FP244 - tail code 2)
Rigel Star (G-AGID/JX575 - tail code 3)
Antares Star (G-AGIE/JX577 - tail code 4)
Spica Star (G-AGKS/JX287 - tail code 5)
Taking between 27 and 33 hours, with departure timed so that the flight crossed Japanese occupied territory during darkness, the crews would observe the sunrise twice, which led to the service being known as "The Double Sunrise". The flight route flown was along the coast from Perth to Exmouth then setting out towards Cocos (Keeling) Island or Christmas Island (though neither was actually sighted during the flight) and onto Kogalla, a journey of approximately 3,580 nautical miles (6,630 km). After the success of the initial flights, it was decided to run a weekly service, with some services flying over Rottnest Island and then taking a direct line to Kogalla. As part of the Australia-England air route there was a surface component from Kogalla to Karachi that added considerable time to the service. This was later replaced by the Double Sunrise service, with Karachi to England flown by BOAC. Air crews would change in Kogalla taking the next plane in either direction minimising the time taken to complete the journey.
Though stripped of all non-essential equipment, including de-icing equipment and insulation, the average takeoff weight was 15,900 to 16,000 kg; this included 9,040 liters of fuel, which gave the Catalina a range of 3,600 nautical miles (6,700 km). The service made 271 crossings, delivered over 4,500 kg of mail and carried 860 passengers, including among them British MP Edith Summerskill and the journalist Keith Murdoch. 'The Secret Order of The Double Sunrise' was an illustrated certificate given to passengers aboard the flying boats of the Australia-England air link, to attest they had been airborne for more than 24 hours.
After the war the five modified Catalinas that had flown The Double Sunrise service were scuttled.

Fictional Vermont Air National Guard repaint for Dino Cattaneo's F-35A Version 2.2 and 2.3 By Brian Gladden
Based on the base USAF paint included with the package, I redid the tails showing the "Green Mtn Boy" graphic now carried by the 158th FW's F-16's.
The VT Air National Guard's 158th Fight Wing was selected by the USAF to be the only Air National Guard F-35 unit. Replacing the current F-16C's operated by the wing starting in 2020. It is a great honor that the Green Mountain Boys have been selected to operate this aircraft. This repaint is fictional in the fact that the VTANG won't have this aircraft intil 2020.

| Egypt Air Airbus A340-300 - Semi-fictional |
|

File Description:
Hello everyone! I am back again with my latest repaint A340-300 Egypt Air (Semi-fictional) for the Black Box Simulation (BBS) Payware model. Note: this is only the repaint, you have to purchase the Black Box Simulation A330/A340 V0.8. The reason why i called it "Semi-fictional" is that Egyptair only has the A340-200 (currently leased by Air leasure) not the A340-300. So, I hope you like the repaint and see you soon :)
For any suggestions :[email protected]

File Description:
I can't find out much about G-DAFY other than it's owned by Ortac Air Ltd, Guernsey. It has taken part in the Dorset air race. (Stop laughing at the back!) It does get around as it has been photographed in Spain as well as other foreign places. I believe it's kept in Geurnsey, C.Is but will be corrected if anyone knows better.
As usual, buy the aircraft from Carenado.com before installing this paint.
Look for 3 green before landing. :-)

File Description:
Air New Zealand Link is a brand name under which three regional airlines operate feeder flights for Air New Zealand. They primarily connect regional centres with New Zealand's three main international airports. The only prop aircraft they use is the DHC-8-Q300, B1900D, and the ATR 72-500 and 600. There is no Jetstream 41 in their fleet, so this is a fictional livery with a fictional registration number. This livery is to be used with the PMDG JS4100.
