B753 set, my first AIG 753 paints ever. N5002K was a BOE pre-delivery serial, so that will be replaced by the ATA registration N552TZ. The revised artwork has been retro-fitted to my 752 package as well. Lastly, I don't have any pictures of these aircraft with winglets, and as the airline went belly-up in the early 2000s, I don't think they made it to the 757W era. FAIB 737s on deck.... :{)

Wasnt ATA one of the first to put winglets on their 737s? Either way, really excited for the ATA release!

All of ATA's 738s had winglets, they were one of the first airlines to get them all straight from the factory rather than retro-fitting later.

So, apparently I was not done with L-1011s yet..... 733, 738, and the feeder aircraft left to do, and that will be that. :{)

I found one more ex-ATA 757-23N in service of MOV Vim Airlines 2006-2007, two different paint variations of the Palm Tree livery, they're in the package now.
As for bringing old models back to life, you haven't seen 'nuthin yet. WDY JS.31 forthcoming today or tomorrow with the PAI JS31, plus TFS S340, and the remainder of the ATA (733, 738) on the FAIB models.

I just did a rare mid-week upload, with the following aircraft:
ATA American Trans Air: 721 x6, 722 x6, 752 x16, 753 x4, L-1011-1 x20, L-1011-3 x4, 733 x3, 738 x3
ATA Connect - Chicago Express: JS31 x2, S340 x2
And the re-upload of the S340 RLK and EMB110 NZE packages.

FSPXAI just released their first foray into the 767 world, the 767-300, with separate pax/freighter models, winglet options, and all current PW/GE/RR engine variants (no older GE CF6-80A or PW JT9D). It looks like a nice set, and they will be adding 200/400 in the future as an upgrade. It's for P3Dv4/5 only, but the paint kit is much much easier by looks than the FAIB model, so I may be turning out some painting of my recent FAIB 767 projects, plus some new surprises. The FAIB model set didn't have the longer-cowling PW4000 engine variant (shorter PW JT9D only), so nobody's been perfect here, lol.

There will be a follow-on to the WDY fleet. CG found a 1996 S340 photo painted in the old colors, and BW graciously gave me an enhanced PAI JS31 paint kit. I will release the goods as an expansion rather than a correction.

Big surprise coming, screenshots hopefully by tomorrow. One of the last big jigsaw pieces of the 1990s traffic world for 747s. cgold, chasen, and sierraair are in the know, but that's all I will reveal until I get some fairly ambitious painting done.
Chew on that for awhile, lol.

Oh, what the hell..... I was never good at keeping secrets... SAA 744s, 1991 forward including 2006 Star Alliance membership entry, RR and GE models, 14 variants, and even one with a satcomm. A big thanks to Brian for allowing me to use his textures as a basis for the early aircraft. I am into the 743s today, but I am feeling pretty lucky, and am attempting my first full-aircraft logojet paint (Ndizani Olympic 1996), I give absolutely no promises on how it's going to turn out. 742s will follow, of course. I am not doing anything prior to 1983 because Brian has already put out stunning work which covers 1970s and early 1980s use of SAA 747s, and my work will merely be an extension of his. :{)
