Air Europa was pioneer in the promotion of non airplane-related private publicity on the spanish sky. They started with the alcoholic drink "Martini", reflected on my file b737ah47, and others followed. This one is a 737-400, registed EC-IRA, and by February 2004 it carried a sticker promoting a Queen musical. There is not mistake on the port side, it was splited by two black stripes.
Actually this plane don't belongs to the company but it was part of the fleet at least until October 2005.

As a help for any other repainter who will download this plane, I'm including a bitmap called "blanco.bmp" with a white weared fuselaje.

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 757 in Delta markings. Why don't a "Bat's outa Hell's" B-25 or a serie of Qantas 737s? The plane modelers like FFX are very important, but they can't make all the painting schemes by himselfs. So why don't help they?
Installation:
Just unzip b737ah69.zip in your "Aircraft" folder of FS2002, FS2004 or FS9 and that's all.
