File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the DeHavilland DH98 Mosquito by Dave Garwood, in the colors of DZ546, a B Mk.IV that flew with No.618 Squadron in the summer of 1945. It was built in early 1943 and allocated to 618 Squadron. It was converted for 'Highball' missions in 1944. Highball was the codename of special spherical bouncing bombs to be used for antishipping attacks. The conversion included Merlin 24 motors, a four bladed prop, an arrester hook, new windscreen and armour plating. With the collapse of the German threat, 618 was transferred to Australia in october 1944, but no suitable role was found for the squadron, which was disbanded at RAAF Narromine in july 1945.
The Mosquitos were later sold and DZ546 was bought by Ken & Rob Bowman of Dunedoo, who dismantled it with the help of a chainsaw. Parts of the aircraft are currently being used in the restoration of a Mosquito in New Zealand. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by Dave Garwood.

File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A WoP3 P-51D Mustang, in the colors of P-51K #44-64077 5E-V "Estellita" of Lt. Curtis L. Smart, of the 385th FS/364th FG, based in Honington, UK. As the story goes, just prior to being assigned to England to fly fighter aircraft, Lt. Smart’s wife gave birth to the first of three daughters. Estrellita was the title of a Mexican song that was popular in those days, which translated to “Little Starâ€, and this was given to the child as her name. Smart’s first P-51 was named Estrellita but the aircraft was lost, so too was the second and ultimately he received the third aircraft to bear the name, now Estrellita III. The nose art was never completed as intended. If you notice the odd extension to the bottom of the “Eâ€, this was supposed to be a shooting star with a classic early US star with red center forming the shooting star portion.
Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the A2A paintkit.

File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A WoP3 P-51D Mustang (with AccuSim), in the colors of P-51K 44-11161 LC-N "June Nite" as flown by Ernest "Feeb" Fiebelkorn of the 20th FG. He was one of the biggest aces of the 8th Air Force, meaning tallest and heaviest. 6ft 4in combined with 225 pounds must have made a placement into the Mustang's cockpit a bit problematic.
This did not prevent Feeb from becoming the top-scoring pilot of the 20th Fighter Group. Moreover, it was not Fiebelkorn's only claim to fame. On November 8th 1944 he and Edward Haydon from 357th FG managed to shoot down German Me 262 piloted by then top-scoring ace of the World - Walter Nowotny. The famous Austrian pilot was not lucky enough to survive that onslaught.
Feeb finished the war unscathed only to die in F-82 over Korea. His total score includes 8 individual aerial victories, 2 shared aerial victories and 2 individual ground victories. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the A2A paintkit.

File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the A2A Wings of Power III P-47D Thunderbolt, representing P-47D-15-RE 42-76127 B4-U "Turnip Termite". It was the assigned aircraft of Captain Arlo Henry, of Dearborn, Michigan, of the 387th FS/ 365th FG. He had touched the ground with his prop on one of his earlier missions and the ground recovered from his engine on that occasion gave rise to the name 'Turnip Termite' for his aircraft. On 7 June 1944, Lt Joseph Miller was flying Henry's B4-U over Normandy when he thought he was low on fuel and could not reach the base in England anymore. He bellied in near Omaha Beach in a minefield, and he had to walk out through the fresh furrow created by his aircraft. 'Turnip Termite' was recovered, but was consigned to be salvaged. The cowling panels with the name were used on later versions of Capt. Henry's 'Turnip termite'. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by Martin Catney.

File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the Consolidated B-24D by Flight Replicas, adapted for use in P3Dv5. It shows B-24D-10-Cf 42-62885 BZ862 of the RAF. Arrived in the UK in 1943, it was flown to Karachi, arriving there in August 1943. It first flew with 354 Sqn with serial A, before going to 160 Sqn as J. It was based in Minneriya, in present-day Sri Lanka and was used for long distance mine-laying operations. For this, they removed all extra weight and installed three additional tanks in the forward bomb-bay. This aircraft flew a sortie to southern Malaya to drop two British officers near the Kota Tinggi/Johore road on 31-7/1-8-1945, captained by Flt Lt J A Muir RCAF, and was airborne for 24 hrs 10 mins, the longest unrefuelled flight ever made by any Allied landplane in World War II; the distance flown was 3,735 mls (6,013 km). Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by Flight Replicas.

| Dornier Do27 |

File Description:
Re-upload. Dornier Do27 (Germany)
Four to six seat STOL utility light aircraft manufactured in the mid 1950's to 1960 and initially designed for military purposes. A total of 577 Dornier Do27 were produced in their various manifestations.
It has a wide and relatively roomy cabin, wide track undercarriage and excellent STOL performance. The STOL performance in particular suited the Do 27 for use in undeveloped countries, and several have seen service in Africa and Papua New Guinea.
This has been modelled with Gmax v1.2 and has animated ailerons, flaps, elevators and rudder. It has 4 LOD models and a single texture file and is extremely frame rate friendly.
It is designed specifically to enhance the AI aircraft population and to use with the marvellous GA-Traffic program by Markus Brunner . It is also quite fun to fly as a normal aircraft but you will need to install a suitable panel for this.
Three textures and a paintkit are included.
Special thanks to Steven Grant for his kind permission to use his FDE for this aircraft

File Description:
Re-upload. PAC Airtrainer CT4
Primary trainer aircraft. PAC (Pacific Aerospace Corporation) is a New Zealand company constructing these military trainers based on the Australian Victa Aircruiser private aircraft. The CT4 is used by New Zealand, Australian and Thailand air forces.
While it has been made for AI purposes it is actually a pleasant aircraft to fly so if you install a panel (or link to one) you should gain some flying pleasure from it.
This has been modelled with Gmax v1.2 using a mininum number of polygons (1820 for the main model), and has animated ailerons, flaps, elevators and rudder. It has 4 LOD models and a single texture set and is extremely frame rate friendly. You can also substitute your own photo for the pilot.
It is designed specifically to enhance the AI aircraft population and to use with the marvellous GA-Traffic program by Markus Brunner .
Two textures (Royal New Zealand Air Force Red Checkers, and Thai Air Force) and a paintkit are included.
