I guessed at Ken Mitchell but I can be exactly 100% wrong

I actually installed the Probst panel David - Originally I used Kens but swapped over (cant remember why) So I felt a bit Burke
when I went and looked at what was in the file -- I just like driving Boeing's ten wheeled 9 tonne cement truck around -
The name comes from a gent by the name of Pete Adler who has a couple of hours in the three holer. When he was a training
piot for a certain charter airline almost twenty years ago a new hire class asked him to describe what it was like to
fly the 727 - that was his answer "Like flying a nine ton cement truck". He wasnt far wrong - And my trivia question for all
reading this - Why is there a brass pin through the slot for 40 degrees flap on the 100? and whats a Gibson manuever?. and finally how many pieces of wood are there on a B727-100?
Answers when your tired of googling

Yep.. 100% wrong!
I don't even know where the panel question came from Leif. I must have missed it

Straight from the man himself, he asked me to reprint our conversation as I caught him just before he was going out the door.(looks like i've got a job as Erick's spokesperson

)
You guys have no problems using the jet for the VA just as I amongst many others have no probs repainting it.
I'm sure Erick will drop his two cents here eventually........

Hi Ben..
That's great but I think you'll find most if not all the paints available at places like Allnodes are for the -200 which is not in beta. The wording on Erick's site is quite explicit..
Quote..
4.) No Paint Kit will be released for these models while in Beta form. Even so, no attempted repaints may be uploaded to any website (flight sim libraries, hobbyist sites, virtual airlines, etc).
Unquote.
The 100 is still listed on Vista Liners as being 'in beta' hence our worry about these files being uploaded. However, you seem to have Erick's 'ear' so all well and good. It doesn't change the fact that uploading 100srs paints directly contravenes para 4 on the Vista Liners download page ;-)
