Would be cool if it turned up at the Tauranga airshow.

Posted: Mon Jan 09, 2012 3:28 pmWow! That looks magic! I say they need to convert the whole fleet!
Posted: Mon Jan 09, 2012 3:46 pmAwesome 
Posted: Mon Jan 09, 2012 5:26 pmSplendid!!!! thanks for sharing Ham, any idea when it leaves town?
Posted: Mon Jan 09, 2012 5:46 pmAnyone thought about a repaint for the PMDG Beech? - would look nice
Posted: Mon Jan 09, 2012 6:23 pmLost,d the Pacific Wave , why paint the entire fleet with the fern ... oh forgot ........ bean counters 
Posted: Mon Jan 09, 2012 8:43 pmLooking at this aircraft and also thinking about the 777, I wonder if they are going to find out that when the aircraft is sitting on the ground in the sun, if it gets far too hot. I think how it is in a black car on a sunny day, so I wonder if it will be the same in a black aircraft. Black absorbs, white reflects heat. So is this a wise choice????
smooth landings.
smooth landings.

Errrr... I doubt only the marketing department had any input into the colour selection.
I guess the packs/air-con or ground air supply are good enough to keep the machines cool on the ground, and in the air the surface is freezing cold anyway right?

Posted: Tue Jan 10, 2012 12:20 amI've gotta say, that is by far the best paint scheme I have seen on ANY B1900 ever made. It looks like pure class, and I am aussie 
Would love to see a PMDG B1900 repaint of that.

Ho Hum.

Posted: Tue Jan 10, 2012 12:31 pmNot a fan of the 777 wearing that, but on the 1900 it looks great. I agree with the comment above that the whole Eagle fleet should look like that. Very nice. I'm sure a Dash would look good too!
Posted: Tue Jan 10, 2012 2:19 pmDont forget about the poor old 733.. <sniff>
