FS2004 Spartan 7W Executive Repaint by Dave Torkington. Years ahead of it's time, the Spartan 7W led the field in performance, luxury and appearance. Led by Spartan Aircraft Companies' owner J. Paul Getty, work on the 7W began in 1935 with veteran engineer James B. Ford leading the design team. Spartan 7W 'NC17616' was built in 1938 and eventually found a home with Hickok Manufacturing in 1940. After a long and distinguished career, NC17616 made it through to the 21st century - still wowing the crowds with her 'polished' performance!
