File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A/Aircraft Factory F4-U Corsair, in the paintscheme of White 29, the Aircraft ot Lt Ira Kepford of VF-17 "Jolly Rogers". With 16 confirmed kills at the end of February 1944, Kepford was still the Navy's top ace, a distinction he retained until Alexander Vraciu went wild on June 19. Kepford returned to the States in March of 1944, and was assigned to Fleet Air Command at Alameda, California. In June, he was transferred to VF-84. In December, he was attached to the Staff of Commander Fleet Air, West Coast, where he served the remainder of WWII. In his five months of combat duty, Ira Kepford earned two Navy Crosses, the Gold Star, the Silver Star, three Distinguished Flying Crosses, the Air Medal, Unit Commendation to VF-17, and the American Defense Service Medal. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the A2A paintkit.

File Description:
Textures for Jens B. Kristensens Bristol Britannia 300 model (BRT_V10.ZIP). These textures depict Britannia 317 c/n 13426, built at Filton and registered G-APNB Nov. 1958. She was delivered 30.04.1959 to British and Commonwealth Shipping Ltd .and in May 1960 transferred to the parent company Hunting Clan Air Transport Ltd. This aircraft and sister ship G-APNA made several UK - Far East trooping charter flights. Fitted with 114 rearward-facing seats, the interior layout was described as "unusually luxurious" for a troop carrier! Six flights each month were made between London, Singapore and Hong Kong with fuel stops at Istanbul, Karachi and Bombay. Further trooping contracts followed to Cyprus, Kenya and Aden also other charter services were flown (See video clip on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2p9feJUh_iE). Photos with an without colored engine cowlings exist. Cheetline and titles were repeatedly altered too. 1959-60 G-APNB was leased to East African Airways Corp., EAAC. In July 1960 both Britannias came to British United Airways, BUA by merger. G-APNB were sold to Donaldson Intl. 1967 and leased out to Lloyd Intl. 1967 and 1969. She retired 1971 and was broken up at Luton.

| U.S.S. Enterprise 2702-D |
|
File Description:
The U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D was a Galaxy-class extended-duration starship and the flagship of Starfleet. The fifth starship to be named Enterprise, she was commanded by Captain Jean-Luc Picard. With a total of 42 decks, the U.S.S. Enterprise-D was twice the length and had eight times the interior space of the Constitution-class ships of over a century earlier; she carried a combined crew and passenger load of about 1,012.
Defensive systems included 10 phaser banks, 250 photon torpedoes, and a high capacity shield grid; there are some 4,000 power systems in all aboard ship.
Full acceleration time from reverse, sub-light impulse through nominal top warp speed, warp 9, was 0.03 milliseconds. The ship achieved maximum speed of warp 9.5 maximum when pursued by the entity known as "Q"; at warp 9.3 its engines had passed the red line.
By stardate 43205, she had already logged tens of thousands of light-years since setting out around stardate 41153.7 after Jean-Luc Picard formally became her first captain on stardate 41124.
An average day aboard ship, according to Lieutenant Commander Data, included four birthdays, two personnel transfers, two chess tournaments, a secondary school play, four promotions, the celebration of the Hindu Festival of Lights — and a birth and wedding.
Some 13 planets were represented among the ship's complement as of stardate 44247. During the Borg incursion of 2366, Decks 23-25 were sliced open by the enemy during the final battle over Earth and requiring a refit at Earth Station McKinley which lasted 5-6 weeks.
It was far less damage than the kamikaze warp-driven collision Commander Riker had readied as one last recourse, however. During that refit, the starship received a phaser upgrade as well as damage repair and a dilithium chamber articulation frame. It off-loaded the original three Runabouts and the first arriving officers at Deep Space Nine.
The U.S.S. Enterprise-D was destroyed in 2371 after an attack by renegade Klingons breached her warp core. Although the saucer section separated before the breach, the force of the explosion caused the section to crash on the planet Veridian III. Fortunately, losses were minimal.

File Description:
This is an X-Plane 11 and X-Plane 10 scenery package for Nero Moura Airport, also know as Santos Air Base, or BAST, (IATA: SSZ, ICAO: SBST), which is an airport and base of the Brazilian Air Force located in the city of Guarujá, state of São Paulo, in Brazil. The operation of civil aircraft for refueling may be possible upon authorization of the commander of Santos Air Base.
It includes corrected aprons, ramps, gates, taxiways, lighting system, city buildings, the Santos Harbour and Port area, ortho-photoscenery for the airfield area, and (XP11 only) airport ground services (like push back).
On June 22, 2015, the airport received a concession for a commercial airport in the city, named Guarujá Metropolitan Civil Aerodrome, to serve the Baixada Santista metropolitan area. The new structure will divide space with BAST and will have the widening of the airstrip.
This scenery was tested and is operational (as of January 24, 2018) in "X-Plane 11.11 64 bit", Windows 10 Home. It was also tested and is also operational (as of January 24, 2018) in "X-Plane 10.51 64 bit", Windows 10 Home.

FS2004 Grumman Albatross HU-16 version 2.1
Greg Pepper Michael Verlin
Panel Package
Along with the modifications I've made to Greg Pepper's wonderful Albatross, I felt that a upgrade for the panel was overdue.
The changes consist of a revised set of primary flight instruments in keeping with the chronological period.
The airspeed gauge is part of Greg's gauge set that he provided with the aircraft.
The attitude gauge and turn indicator come from Jens Christensen's DC-6 gauge package.
The altimeter, gyro and vertical speed were designed by Scott Thomas from his Aero Commander 500 gauge package.
The Bendix King radios were designed by Pierre Fasseaux.
The KLN90 gps was designed by Ike Slack.
I've also included Rob Barendregt's Ground Handling package and the RKG Fuelstat gauge.
A few notes on using this panel:
Please read Pierre's instructions for proper operation of the autopilot before you fly.
The GPS will load the flight plan you specify from FS9.
There is a hot spot in the upper left corner of the radio stack that will close it when it isn't needed.

| Bonanza Airlines Douglas DC-3 |
|
File Description:
FS2004. Texture sets only, requiring the base model of the GMAX MAAM-SIM R4D/DC-3 available from www.maam.org. Based on original textures by Jan Visser. Bonanza Air Services (BAS) was formed in early in 1945 by Edmund Converse, a former lieutenant commander in the U.S. Navy; Charlie Keene, once an operator of a small charter operation in Santa Paula, California; and June Simon, daughter of "Pop" Simon the former secretary-director of the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce. BAS located its home base at the Sky Haven Airfield, now known as the North Las Vegas Air Terminal, and began operating with just one single-engine, four-seat Cessna. The company offered charter flights to several small Nevada towns but needed a place to promote its product. The trio struck a deal with the El Rancho Vegas Hotel and Casino to set up a ticket counter in the lobby. Bonanza Air Lines was the aviation pioneer in the western United States and proved to be a vital link in the air transportation industry. In it's 23 years of operation BAL growth continued up until the time of the merger. Bonanza will be remembered as a successful airline.

| Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX EN186 Bluebird |

Images related to this file:
File Description:
Spitfire IXc EN186 was the personal aircraft of S/L L.C. Wade, an American flying with the RAF. Wade was born in the small farming community of Broaddus, Texas in 1915. He was the second son of Bill and Susan Wade, who named him L.C. (only after the RAF demanded a forename did he call himself Lance Cleo Wade). After the family moved to a farm near Reklaw, Texas in 1922 he worked on the family farm and attended the local school. He was unable to join the US Army Aviation Cadet Program due to a lack of a college education. He began flying at age 17, at Tucson, Arizona. In 1934 at age 19, Wade joined the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in Arizona. He joined the RAF in Canada in December 1940 and trained with No. 52 Operational Training Unit (OTU). Wade was then sent to the British aircraft carrier Ark Royal and flew off her deck in Hawker Hurricane to reinforce the depleted ranks of aircraft on the island of Malta. He was then sent to Egypt as a Hawker Hurricane Mk I pilot in September 1941, and was posted to 33 Squadron. The squadron's mission was to provide close air support for Operation Crusader, the British assault launched on November 18, 1941, against the German Afrika Korps. His first kills were two Fiat CR.42s on 18 November. He attained the rank of "ace" on 24 November 1941. He began flying Hurricane Mk IIs in April 1942, and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC). He had 13 victories as of September 1942. He spent the next several months back in the US on various RAF projects including evaluating some American fighters at Wright Field. He returned to combat as a Flight Commander in 145 Squadron with a Bar to his DFC, flying Supermarine Spitfire Mk Vs. Promoted to squadron leader, he had a busy 60 days, as by the end of April his score was 21, by then flying Spitfire Mk IXs. His squadron moved to Italy, and as a Spitfire VIII pilot he claimed two Focke-Wulf Fw 190s of Schlachtgeschwader 4 on 2 October 1943. His last claims were three FW 190s (again of SG 4) damaged on 3 November. Wade became a wing commander and joined the staff of the Desert Air Force but was there only briefly, as he was killed in a flying accident on 12 January 1944 at Foggia, Italy. In 30 fights for which he made claims he was credited with 23 victories including two shared), one probable, and 13 damaged. He is also credited with one destroyed and five damaged on the ground.
Wing Commander Wade is usually listed with 25 victories but official RAF records show that he had 22 solo victories and half each of two more for a total of 23, not counting one probable. Regardless of whether his score is 25, or 23 victories, he is still the leading American fighter ace to serve exclusively in any foreign air force.
Since he never transferred to the USAAF, or any other American Air service, Wade never got the publicity that other American aces received and thus is more obscure than his peers.
The aircraft depicted in this repaint, EN186, started its active career with 249 sqn on Malta, who used it for high flying reconaissance, and who were responsible for replacing the dark green with Mediterranean Blue. The aircraft was then transferred to Tunisia, where it was the personal aircraft of W/C Gleed of the 244 wing. After his death, it went to L.C. Wade, who scored 5 victories with it in april 1943. He did not apply any codes to it, and referred to it in his logbook as BB, for Blue Bird. He flew it till august 1943, when he changed to flying Spitfire MK VIII JF472

| Grumman F 14B Tomcat 'Jolly Rogers' |
|
File Description:
These are textures ***ONLY*** and are applied to Jeff Dobbing and D.Cattaneo's Grumman F 14B, filename: f14bfs9a.zip; available at http://www.fsfreeware.com/cgi-bin/dcd_a/dcd.cgi I wish to thank these gentlemen for providing us with such a fine model of this aircraft and their kind permission to repaint it. These are 32-bit textures with no mip-maps to preserve image clarity.
These textures are the "hi-viz" paint scheme that the CAG (Commander Air Group), XO's, and show aircraft wear. Basic differences are that the stripes on the fuselage under the cockpit are outlined in yellow as are the tail-fins, and the drop tanks are glossy black and carry the same yellow/black stripes as the fuselage does. Also the fins below the engines are outlined in yellow. Instead of a flat black, they use a glossy black on the black areas of the Tomcat. The yellow/black colors do make for a nice contrast. The significance of the yellow and black colors are a carry-over from the early days of VF-84 and when the "colors" were passed to VF-103 after VF-84 was decommissioned VF-103 "show" aircraft carry the full squadron colors in remembrance of VF-84 and past squadrons that carried the "Jolly Rogers" mantel. They are subtle differences in the paint schemes but have some meaning for the squadrons.
Enjoy! Heather

Russian Circus " Flying Sagitarius" (ïîëåò Sagitarious ) is visiting
Georgia and its mountain communities. Due to the cold weather, not expected by Yokoliv Burulov,
owner and trapeze swinger of the circus, three of his "stars" had to be taken by truck to a hospital since
their bowels have suffered " Dirruscus-Megra" a common cold water desease in the mountains. The three
ill "stars" are the Elephant "Bimbo"--"Zula" the laughfing Zebra and "Dobo" the great Dansing Russian Brown Bear...
Together these animals are worth around 75,000 Rubles in the Circus Markets.----Now Yokoliv has received
a call that the truck had an accident on the road and the three characters have run into the mountains. Not
wasting time he has asked the nearby Air Force Base for help. General Gustrgy Bonklovsky commander of the base and circus lover, has agreed to provide him with a SAR helicopter that will search the area and find at all cost the Animals....You are called to be the pilot for the mission at hand. Its cold, muggy and for the last three days fog has been lingering all over the mountains.---"this is the life pilot" says General Bonklovsky , as he hands you the search area map with a sardonic smile. You smell the presence of resently drunk Vodka and leave the hut toward the spinning Chopper.---Download MI-8 Helicopter for Mission
