One of my favorite planes is the Boeing 727. So when I saw a picture of this Braniff's plane, I decided to repaint a 727 in this livery. This was my second repaint. The model made for Kevin Trinkle is very good for FS2002 but with problems in FS2004. So, one year later, I selected the FS2004 model of Mike Stone (a good one too), and started to upgrade all my 727 repaints from FS2002 to FS2004.
The plane is one of about 70 Boeing 727s of various marks bought by Branif over the period 1965-73. Braniff had a picture scheme where each plane had a different color in tail and body. In fact, the Braniff's N7286 had the same green tone, but the 1 and 3 engines were natural metal, and ALL then botom was clear green. Sistership of N7280, N7281 arrived in April, 1967. She was sold in May, 1980. Now it flyes with First Air. This is the oldest passenger jetliner flying the canadian skies!

Warranty:
I love the warranty wrote by Andrew W. Hall:
"None. Zip. Nada. Use at your own risk. I dont think
this will harm your computer in any way, but if it does, I
dont even want to hear about it."
A last remark: Why don't become a repainter? There are a lot of planes with special markings. I'm tired of the usual F-16 low-vis scheme, or the usual Delta 757 markings. Why don't a Tornado Tiger Meet or a serie of Easy Jet's 737s? The plane modelers like Mike Stone are very important, but they can't make all the painting schemes by himselfs. So why don't help him and his friends?
It was difficult to find a picture of this plane. If you have someone, my e_mail is dracosist@telcel.net.ve
INSTALLATION:
Just unzip b727ah24.zip in your "Aircraft" folder of FS2004 or FS9 (make sure "use folder names" is checked), install your desired panel and that's all. If you don't know how to install a panel, just let the one who comes instaled, but I don't like it.
