Thanks a lot. I presume C-GAUD or better known as "Gimli Glider" is included (for the 1980s)? Kind regards. Actually, you are in luck. I didn't include it in the original paint run, because other than the notoriety of the aircraft it was just another serial in the fleet, but I found it with the 1985 Singapore stickers, so I will add it in. I am doing some small tweaks on most of the ACA repaints to date, bigger SA stickers on the 767s, proper door tape and billboard logo on the 1992 paints (the dark red), and the added 762 serial. :{)

So, the 1990 paint has the final red colors I decided on, and all previously previewed aircraft have been updated to this standard. If blue is the hardest color for me to match, then red is right behind it (the three primary colors, remember?). A tricky NBA basketball team logojet is included here, Toronto Raptors, but it was fun to figure out. ACA used 319s starting in 1997 so those are on the schedule, to exclude the TCA retrojet, which is still in-service and available as a repaint on Kyle Meeks' website. A321s didn't show up until 2002, so not for now. :{)

... And the big-boy Airbuses. I did not do the 1998 Nagano Olympic logojet, as it was only used for a month in that scheme; and there are, as usual, very crappy photos available. :{)

For the AC A340 use Marc's repain't which is available in his late 90's repaint package on Dropbox.

These A340s are for the FSX/P3D-native FSPX models, if you click on the image, you can see the text, and the presentation of the models with landing lights is a giveaway...:{)

WOW! Thank you for these, I am so excited to see that Raptors A320. That was one of my favorite jets as a kid in the 90s. I am finishing up a huge 1998 update that will make use of your Air Canada A340s and many others, hopefully today. Don't worry about the Nagano Olympic A340, eventually when I get to Air Canada, someone will probably do it to see more goodies at Kai Tak.
Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the nice words, and yeah, I'm not losing sleep over the Nagano paint, it's another one that needs THE photos, not just something I can fake with other similar images. I am always on the hunt in the Internet heavens, and who knows what I will find...? Also, the Raptors logojet uses a little bit of artistic license. I couldn't find any good belly pix but I do know the big head on front wraps around so there are no teeth visible, and the small nosegear doors are black, so that's my story and I'm sticking to it, lol. If I find a better photo, I can update that paint in the future. :{)

That's the 767-200 'Spirit of Donovan Bailey, a 1996 Olympic jet. I mentioned this one a page or two back, it's another one I can't do unless I find the exact photo in high-res, and the search continues.....

I have been un-naturally quiet this week, just recovering from the big ACA project. Here is some fill-in-the-holes painting for the RATS Il-86. yaryck did a good paintkit, the basic AFL and VKO stripes were part of it so he gets at least half credit for the SBI paints.... I color-matched his existing paints for EUS and SBI Tu-154s.... :{)

So, here are some things right up Chasen's alley, big (huge) European freight dogs from the late 90s...... Of note, N640FE was used by both SAS and SWR in 1996... :{)
