Transamerica 747s were already done (by me), Air Atlanta Icelandic is on the schedule, and I will consider some of the rest. TVA 742 link: library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=209030Also, I just found high-res logo titles for the HEA repaint, so it will be re-done for final release with nice crisp lettering. :{)

I didn't catch this one on the first pass, but again, easy paint (since I already did the work on the -200s). Same aircraft, two different years. :{)

Not sure why Brian hasn't gotten to this one yet, it's right up his alley (1982-1983)..... I was being patient and waiting for it, but it's also one of the easier paints for this model, so what the heck? View Attachment:{) Quick history, while those guys were only around several months in 1983, they first had the 747 and then traded it in for 2 DC-10-30s so did not have both at once. Brian's flight schedule was with the 2 DC-10-30s, post 747. So what I've done is kept 1 DC-10-30 and made the other aircraft a 747, to see both. But as such, I'm pretty sure he was never going to do it, so THANK YOU for taking the time to create this. The "Flying Pineapple" is one of my favorite 80s jets.

The owner also went on to found Air Hawaii, using the same dc-10-10s!

Oddly enough, the HEA 747 was the only fleet aircraft that didn't have the pineapple on the tail. I might take care of that as an option.

Here's a catch-up for Elan Cargo. I actually painted this during my EWW project last year, but I was trying some MCX/FSDS skullduggery in an attempt to remove the radar nose; if successful, I would have requested permission from JY to release the modified model. I was unsuccessful, so I forgot about the paint. When SG released his IPEC Argosy paint, I figured at this point it doesn't matter that much, as long as it's in the spirit of the exercise, so this aircraft is now on the release schedule. :{)

More 70s-80s from down under..... There are more BPA DC-3/C-47 variants going back to 1951 which will be sorted out before release. I have pix of most a/c that AQN and BPA used, so this will be an on-going project. All roads led to AAA in the end. :{)

That "B" on the back of those two Bush Pilots Airways planes looks suspiciously similar to another logo from around the same time...
