Did you ever get a chance to fly the old classic 747-236B's.
We had them come into CYVR a few times back in 2002.

BA was flying them here all the time till retirement and it was nice to see G-BDXH back in the EAL livery.
I assume all the 747-236's had the FMS that BA retrofitted into them when you guys had them.

What happened to those beautiful old birds? hope they all didnt get scrapped. Sad

Chris

I got to fly on them and... I still do! Well in the sim! MCC and experience days.

And HX was my favourite in blue! Im lucky to have all 5 in 1:200 scale in a glass display cabinet with a few bits of uniform etc.

Sorry to say that all 742s were scrapped except XH!

She was kept
And is still complete at Dunsfold EGYD. Modified for the James Bond fil
casino Royale. To this day is complete but not airworthy. Look on google you'll see why!

So if you ever watch the tv show top gear. Which is filmed at Dunsfold. You'll see her!

Thankfully there are some talented people like yourself to tackle a few liveries for the hobby.
Wish I had the software and talent to give it a try, there are a few classic Canadian, US and UK liveries I’d love to see come to life in FSX.

I have lots of pictures from within the Canadian/Air Canada hanger at CYVR for 737-200's that hopefully one day will join my FSX fleet.  Tongue  Tongue

Looking forward to your work Eric.

I’ve been to Spokane a few times back in my younger days. Love Washington State, It’s like the British Columbia of the United States.

Chris


Thank you for the kind words! Im really just an total newb when it comes to this, there are many better than I. ive been to canada once up to cranbrook and Nelson, Nelson was great cause the prestige hotel we stayed at was right at the end of the Nelson airport! If you have some photos of the aircraft you want id be glad to give em a shot if they havent been done already. My first paint i ever did was the Seattle Seahawks "Seahawks 1" livery for the CS 727-200, which is uploaded to the free liveries.

I LOVE Top Gear! Such a funny show and awesome super cars. i have the Game Forza Motorsports 4 and they have the TG test track there with the 742 modeled in the scenery! would be neat to see pictures of your uniform! Looks like we have two ATP's to tell stories to us!

The ICAO code for Dunsfold is EGTD.
EGYD is RAF Cranwell.

Air charter plane are more convenient than regular flights That why the demand  of private jet charters are increase gradually.
