Repaint Notes
-------------
This was my first attempt at repainting any type of aircraft for use with MS FS 2k2. I originally downloaded the "Skybus" Longjet Ranger from www.simviation.com. After installing the aircraft, I decided that it wasn't colorful enough for me, so I decided to explore the idea of repainting my own version of the aircraft. Since, I live in Arizona and I routinely see the AZ DPS Long Ranger flying around, I felt this would be a great project to share with fellow sim aviation enthusiasts. I hope everyone likes it.
Since I did not originally create the aircraft, I would like to thank the original creators for posting such a professionally completed flight sim aircraft for all of us to enjoy.
