Classic British Flight Sim

It's June ...and the Jetliner Jockies at HJG have pleasure releasing another great selection of new and upgraded B707/720/C135, CV880, CV990, & DC8 files for FS9/FSX, featuring classic and recent airline/operator liveries from around the globe.

Released among HJG's new Boeing textures for June are an unusual TAG Aviation livery from the early 1990's, and the original 2001 scheme applied to celebrety John TRAVOLTA's private aircraft ...both of these textures are for the rare B707-138B. An equally rare British registered B707-320 from the late 1970's and which was operated in a lesser known version of Malaysian Airline System livery. B707-320C's from the late 1970's, 80's, and 90's featuring Air Gulf Falcon, Arab Air Cargo, Lloyd Aereo Boliviano, Malaysian Airline System, Millon Air, and Nocoia Aviation aircraft. A mega-rare B707-420 leased from a major British carrier during the mid 1970's and operated in definitive Malaysian Airline System livery. As well as new USAF liveries for both KC135-E & -D aircraft ...1 of which features the dual 50TH/40TH anniversary hybrid scheme for an aircraft based at Kansas City during 1997.

HJG also have a June treat for CV880/990 affectionados ...a brand new CV880-22 AIRLIFTER model, complete with a fully animated cargo door and fuselage full of virtual freight, and supported by extremly rare Inair Panama, Profit Express, and SERCA Costa Rica freighter liveries from the late 1970's and early 1980's era.

Douglas aircraft haven't been overlooked either ...represented this month are textures for an obscure DC8-33F which was very briefly operated by ARCA Colombia during 1981, and the early 1990's TAMPA Colombia livery for a DC8-71F aircraft.

Upgraded HJG files for June include the rare/shortlived 1972 delivery scheme for Aerocondor Colombia's very first B720-B. A further updated/improved B707 Panel Core Files package for all HJG B707/720/C135 TYPE panels ...there are no changes to any of the downloadable panels though. And updated Aircraft Base Packs ...further FDE improvements... for HJG CV880-22, CV880-22M, CV990 (early), and CV990-A aircraft. Please refer to explanatory notes on the HJG "NEW & ANNOUcEMENTS" forum page for complete information regarding each of these upgrades.

Anyone remember both of the following rare "G-" registered B707's ?

B707-436 G-APFJ .... also leased to MALAYSIAN AIRLINE SYSTEM around 1974 and operated in full/definitive MAS period livery.

FYI .... both of these rarebirds are currently available for "FREE" download from the HJG website at the following address ....

GAYVG was a frequent visitor to LTN painted in BMA colours but the MAS thing was long after my departure

The "BIGGER SURPRISE" for me was when I found an image of B707-436 G-APFJ .... in full definitive MAS 1970's livery :o

I knew about a couple of "G-" registered -320's that were leased to MAS .... one of which (G-AZWA) featured a freight door and ended flying for TAMPA COLOMBIA (HK-2477X) during the early 1980's .... until she bit the dust one morning departing Bogota and ever never flew again ! :-(

Folks .... yesterday our new/updated B707 PANEL CORE FILES went U/S (along with a few other things) shortly after being uploaded .... it's just one of those things than can and does happen sometimes !

I'd just like to advise this link has been restored.

These new/updated files are now once again available for download by all whom want to install them.

Sorry for any inconvenience !
