File Description:
This is a repaint for the payware A2A Simulations AT-6 Texan. This repaint depicts the restored AT-6G N29931, owned by Bruce Olson and based at Flying Cloud airport, just outside Minneapolis, MN. As long as the weather cooperates, Olson typically flies this aircraft every week, from April to fall, and averages about 140 flying hours a year - as a member of the T-6 Thunder North American Flight Team, most of that flying time is in formation. This particular aircraft, AT-6G 49-3449, served in the Spanish AF from the 1950's up until the early 80's, coded 442-49, before being imported back into the US in 1982.

File Description:
This is a repaint for the payware A2A Simulations AT-6 Texan. This repaint depicts the restored Canadian Car & Foundry built Harvard Mk.IV CCF4-237, named the "The Purple Fox", registered as N7519U, owned by Dave Schmitz and based in Spooner, WI. This aircraft originally served in the RCAF as #20446, from 1952 till 1965. After being sold surplus, the aircraft was parked in a Minnesota field for over 20 years before being purchased by Dave Schmitz in 1988. Following a 6.5-year restoration, the aircraft flew again in 1994, and has since logged nearly 1300 flight hours over the past 22 years, including many hours spent flying with the T-6 Thunder formation group.

| Boeing B-17G 91st BG (LG-P) "Sweet Dish" |

File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A WoP2 B-17G in the colors of B-17G 44-6596 LG-P "Sweet Dish" of the 322nd BS/ 91st BG based in Bassingbourne UK. She arrived in Bassingbourne on the 4th of November 1944 and flew her first mission 5 days later, after which she was assigned to Lt Bob Roach and his crew. He suggested naming her Sweet Dish, after his wife, who was known to the crew. Tony Starcer painted her portrait, based on a pocket photograph. By war's end, she would have completed 46 missions by the war's end, including 24 flown by BoB Roach. Her hairiest mission was to Berlin on 5 december. Flak knocked out no.1 engine and set fire to no.2. During the dive to eliminate the fire, the engineer bailed out, and the navigator and bomb aimer followed him. The fire was extinguished however, and 'Sweet Dish' flew home on two engines. They counted 365 holes in the ship next day, and it took until the end of december to get her in the air again. At the end of the war, she took a group of ground crew on a flight over the damaged cities of Germany, so that they too could see the effect of their work, and in may she helped repatriate released PoW's. In june 1945, she flew back to the States, where she was scrapped at Kingman, Arizona in december 1945.

| Boeing B-17G 91st BG (LL-B) "General Ike" |

File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A WoP2 B-17G in the colors of B-17G 42-97061 LL-B General Ike" of the 401st BS/ 91st BG based in Bassingbourne UK. One of the more well known B-17's of the 91st BG, was originally assigned to the 457th BG, but came to the 91st after only 3 days there, on the 16th March 1944. The aircraft was christened by Genral Eisenhower himself, when he visited the 91st BG on 11 April 1944. The noseart was painted by Cpl. Tony Starcer, with the lettering being done by Cpl. Elvis White. Both artists signed their work, though Cpl White's name later disappeared from the aircraft. Eisenhower liked the painting, but remarked to Cpl Starcer that his eyes were not blue-grey at all. "General Ike" survived the war and returned to Kingman Az, where she was scrapped. On its 65th mission, prop 3 started windmilling and sheared off, hitting the fuselage just below the co-pilots feet, but the only damaged was to the noseart, which was quickly repainted by Cpl Starcer. "General Ike" flew many missions as lead ship, because, as Capt John Davis said after returning from its 21st mission: "She's a mighty sweet plane, not too hot or fast, she moves steadily along. You don't want a fast aircraft for group lead."Ike" gets you over the target and brings you back again", which she did, again and again until the end of the war.

| Cessna C172M (SX-AWD) |

Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a representation of SX-AWD, of the Athens Aeroclub based in Tatoi LGTT, north of Athens. It is used by all club members holding a PPL and is the next step of graduation by all pilots who have completed their basic training in the trusty smaller brother the Cessna 152 II. It is also available for pleasure flights and initiation flights for non members.
The actual plane is an older "M" model with carburetor equipped engine so there are several model differences from the "R" represented by A2A including antennae, landing lights on the nose and very different cockpit with no headrests and different door interior and instrument panel. The actual one is also equipped with an ASI in mph instead of knots.

File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A Wings of Power III P-47D Thunderbolt, representing P-47D-21-RA 43-25519 D5-T "Stinker Too", the assigned aircraft of Lt. Rhinert Tadych of the 386th FS/ 365th FG. Lt. Tadych, of Manitowoe, Wisconsin was awarded the DFC for an attack on several tanks in the neighbourhood of Trier. Although his aircraft was severely damaged by flak early on in the attack, he held his position in the formation while bombing, strafing and destroying five tanks. The result was that his aircraft became a composite of three different aircraft. Lt Tadych flew 82 missions with the 365th till the end of the war. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by Martin Catney.

File Description:
This is a repaint for the payware A2A Simulations AT-6 Texan. This repaint depicts the restored AT-6D 42-85696, registered N85696, owned by Paul Ehlen, based just outside Minneapolis at Flying Cloud airport in Eden Prairie, MN, and can be seen on public display at the Wings of the North Museum. This aircraft originally served as an instrument trainer at Craig Field, Alabama in 1945 and 1946. Between 2002 and 2006 the aircraft was fully restored by John Meyer and Gary Allen, of Lake Stevens, WA, and it is the most accurate/authentically-complete AT-6D flying today. The restored aircraft has a propeller spinner fitted, as some of the Craig Field AT-6D's did have spinners installed, based on period photos.

File Description:
This is a repaint for the payware A2A Simulations AT-6 Texan. This repaint depicts the Royal Navy Harvard Mk.III EZ316, as it looked while with Station Flight at Gosport, UK in 1953. The aircraft was originally manufactured under a USAAF contract as AT-6D-NT 42-84460, but was one of a number of such examples diverted to the Royal Navy becoming Harvard III's. EZ316 initially served with the Royal Navy at Lee-on-Solent in November 1945, before going to Rattray from February 1946 to August 1947. Gosport was the aircraft's final assignment before being scrapped in 1959, but an original panel from this aircraft, featuring "Mighty Mouse" nose art (as recreated in this repaint, just as it was), still survives today, and was just recently discovered/identified.

| "US Navy SNJ-4" AT-6 (N7090C) |

Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a repaint for the payware A2A Simulations AT-6 Texan. This repaint depicts the restored SNJ-4 N7090C, owned by John Bormes and based at Flying Cloud airport, just outside Minneapolis, MN. John Bormes is a member of the T-6 Thunder North American Flight Team, which perform formations of multiple T-6's, at airshows, military dedications, and other events. This particular aircraft, SNJ-4 BuNo.27754, has been on the US civil register as N7090C since the late 1950's, after being stricken from the USN. The current markings are a modified continuation from its 1970's/80's paint scheme as a post-WWII NAS Corry based SNJ, hence the green stripes - the number "370" on the cowl comes from the aircraft's NAA construction number 88-13370.

File Description:
Repaint for the A2A Wings of Power III Spitfire by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by Martin Catney: Supermarine Spitfire IIa P7346 PR-M was the aircraft flown by Belgian ace Jean Offenberg, while flying with 609 squadron from Biggin Hill. He shot down his first aircraft, a Dornier during the German attack on Belgium, and later managed to escape via Corsica and North Africa to England, where he joined the RAF. While on a lone 'training mission' near Cherbourg, he shoots down three aircraft, which earns him the DFC. He later joins 609 Squadron, where a Belgian flight is being formed. Jean Offenberg is killed during a training accident on 22 january 1942, when a Spitfire from another squadron performs a mock attack and collides with him.
