File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A WoP2 B-17G in the colors of B-17G-35-BO 42-32076, the former "Shoo shoo shoo baby". In 1968, the ancestry of F-BGSH, an old B-17 languishing in derelict state on Creil Airfield in France, was discovered by the Australian aviation historian Steve Birdsall, who notified the USAF museum that this was a combat veteran that had flown operational missions, in contrast to most other surviving B-17's. Following negotiations, the B-17 was donated to the US by the French Government. Interestingly, its Swedish heritage attracted interest from Sweden as well, but nothing came of this. The aircraft was disassembled at Creil and trucked to Frankfurt and flown to the US in 1972, where it arrived, packed in 27 crates. No plans or funds for restoration were present at the time, but in 1977, Mike Leiston, a technician at Dover AFB contacted the museum about the possibility of restoring one of the museum's aircraft by volunteers at Dover AFB. With project approved, 42-32076 was transported to Dover, with the aim of restoring it to a stock wartime B-17G. Upon arrival, Paul McDuffee, who had flown her for 13 missions, was present, and the reunion was clearly an emotional one as he commented "I've just got to go over and kiss her", which he did.
The restoration continued to 1988,and after some 60.000 ma hours, "Shoo shoo shoo baby"took to the skies again for the first time on 11 september. On 14 october 1988, she flew for the last time, to the USAF museum near Dayton, Ohio, where she can still be seen. The main difference with her wartime looks is the fact that she currently sports an olive drab camouflage paint, which was necessary due to all the metal work needed to bring her back to a stock B-17G condition. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by A2A.

File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A WoP3 P-51D Mustang (with AccuSim), in the colors of P-51D-5-NA 44-13557 5E-E "Easy Does It" as flown by Lt Richard 'Spider' Smith of the 1st Scouting Force, 8th AF. Lt. Smith was a B-17 plot with the 303rd BG and had completed his tour of 35 missions in october 1944 when he was made an offer he could not refuse. As all pilots, he had been dreaming of flying a fighter and was disappointed when he was assigned to the bombers. He now was asked to join the newly formed scouting force, which used experienced bomber pilots to scout ahead of the bomber force flying Mustangs. After 6 hours in a T-6 and 10 hours in a P-51, 'Spider' (so called because of his physique, tall, with long thin limbs) flew his first missio in a P-51 on 6 december 1944 in an old 364th FG P-51D-5, which he named 'Easy Does It' after it's callsign E. The name 'Betty' on the canopy rail referred to his future wife back in the US, but also to a nurse he was dating in the UK. On his 26th mission, on 1 april 1945, flying lead to Leipzig, his engine caught fire on the return flight, and he had to bail out over Belgium. He broke his arm when he hit the tail on bailing out, but otherwise landed safely. He was sent home to the US and came back just before his 21st birthday, having flown 60 missions. HIs story can be read here: http://www.rccr1957.com/spider.pdf.
He did not crash with this aircraft though, this was damaged during a ground collision in the winter of 1944-45, was repaired and was now flying with the 487th FS/352nd FG as Maj. 'Wild Bill' Halton's 'Slender, Tender and Tall', where it finished the war. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the A2A paintkit.

| FSX World explorer Marco Polo |
|
File Description:
One of the most disputed world explorers was, no doubt, Marco Polo. Even today, the descriptions of his life and adventures in China are considered a mixture of his own experiences and tales from his father end uncle. Nevertheless it's worthwhile to try and follow his travels which brings us to places we might otherwise never see! It is only logical to select an Italian plane for this project: Manuele Villa's beautiful FIAT G.18V. The default FSX Chinese airports are not sufficient to cover Maro Polo's travels within China, therefore it is necessary to install Winfried Orthmann's scenery china_airports_1,_2,_3, and _4!

| Lockheed L-188 Electra II - Martinair Holland |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Re-upload - Over the years a large number of plane types were operated by Martinair and among these was one sole Lockheed L-188C Electra II.
In 1968 PH-LLG "Neptunus" was leased from the KLM to Martinair for a certain period of time and flew many hundreds of holiday makers to their sunny destinations.
Eventually it was converted into a freighter and the aircraft flew cargo for various operators.
Finally, on December 23rd 1998 the Electra was registered in the UK as G-FIZU with Atlantic Airlines (Air Atlantique)
This is a repaint only. J.R. Lucariny's Lockheed L-188 Electra is needed to see the result.

South African Airways purchased three new Viking 1B's during September 1947 for use on its services to neighboring Rhodesia, where Central African Airways has standardised on the type.
A further five Vikings arrived in December 1947 and brought the total to eight.
The Viking was used on routes within Southern Africa before being disposed of in March 1952. All eight SAA Vikings were sold to British European Airways.
ZS-BNL 'Mount Prospect' (c/n 297) was sold to BEA as G-AMGI. It later wound up with Eagle Aviation and served as a cabin crew trainer before being broken up at Heathrow in 1960.

Images related to this file:
File Description:
The De Havilland Heron must be the smallest four engine airliner in the world! And it can take off and land almost anywhere. This, the first in my Three Herons series, represents the Mark 1 variety with fixed undercarriage. This is G-ANXB - named Sir James Simpson, which served British European Airways for many years serving the Scottish islands and regularly used to land on the beach at Barra. This package includes a high detail panel featuring many new gauges. As these gauges are common to all three in this series, these have been placed in a separate download herongg.zip. See also 3h-rnupd.zip. [File re-uploaded at request of AVSIM]
