Initially registered N5375C, D-IDOS was delivered to Hansa Luftbild in May 1984. Unusual amongst survey aircraft in having two openings in the cabin floor allowing clients to use two high precision remote sensors during a single flight saving both time and money. Such flexibility enables aerial image capture and laser scanning to be done at the same time. Painted on to Mike Stone's Cessna 404 Titan, this works in both FS2004 and FSX and may work in FS2002.

Built in 1964, BA-693 was first registered as N372PW. Several owners later, she was re-registered as N372PS, reflecting its then owners identity. She passed through several owners being photographed at Chino in 1993 with its tri-gear and in its original white and green livery. In August 2013, she appeared at Oshkosh in this splendid pseudo military scheme: the aircraft never served with the US Navy. Now a resident of Ione,CA., N372PS returned to Oshkosh in both 2015 and 2016. Painted on to Brian Gladden's FSX update of his Volpar Beech 18, I have had to use some artistic licence with the nose markings to avoid bleed through on to the nosewheel doors.

Registered in 1974 as G-BCLV and as a BD-5A, 4885 survived until July 1989, being cancelled from the British register as being withdrawn from use. 4885 re-emerges in February 2007 as EI-DNO and as a BD-5G. After being one of only two airworthy BD-5Gs in Ireland for a time, it's registration was cancelled in June 2016 as again being withdrawn from use. Painted on to Jez G's BD-5B model, I have also included the panel from an Aeroworks Concept ARX-6. Despite the reputation of the BD-5, it is amazing fun to fly and, for 75HP, really, really quick.

Manufactured in 1999, 825-99 was initially registered as N669MM. James May, former presenter of BBC TV's Top Gear, bought it in June 2008 registering it as G-OCOK, still in its all over red color scheme. He sold the aircraft in 2013, by which time it had acquired stripes on the fuselage and tail markings. Now owned by a company in Devon, you can pay to fly in this aircraft.
Painted on to the Long Island Classics Bellanca Decathlon 8KCAB, I have included texture files for both the early and later versions of G-OCOK's color scheme. LIC say that the Bellanca and the Champion are very similar. Enjoy

One of nine bought by the RLS in 1990 for basic training, this aircraft was tested as G-7-140 and registered as PH-SGE in January 1991. When KLM took them over, RLS aircraft were repainted in basic KLM colors. PH-SGE was sold off in June 2002, retaining its basic KLM livery. She was further sold on in May 2015 and became D-EDRS still retaining this basic KLM scheme.
Painted on to a heavily modified Slingsby T67 by J. R. Lucariny, the pilots have changed into civilian clothes, but still insist on wearing their helmets. Enjoy.

Delivered new to Wideroe in September 2009, 'DG proudly wears the new Wideroe color scheme. Although given the name "Bodo W" in her original paint scheme, she does not appear to carry the name on the new livery.
Painted onto the Dreamwings Dash8-Q400 model, this model may also work in P3D up to v3.

Delivered new to Ethiopia in 1976, this aircraft, registered ET-AGD, was used by Count C-G von Rosen to airdrop relief supplies to isolated communities, in Ethiopia, in the late 1970's.
Having been stored between 1982 and 1987, it was returned to Sweden taking up its current marks and continuing to to fly with Halle-Hunnebergs Flygklubb in Linkoping. Painted on to John Woodward's MFI-15 model, I have included the default Cessna 172 panel as well as the original panel, as there was no 2D panel included in the original package.

The forerunner of the successful Shorts 360, the SD3-30 made its maiden flight on 22nd August, 1974, appearing at the Farnborough Airshow the same year. The aircraft was aimed at regional airlines, with Command Airlines ordering it first, and Time Air being first to put the aircraft into service. 52% of all 330s built went on to serve in the United States. Painted onto a PAD Shorts 330, this repaint depicts 'SBH as she was at the 1974 Farnborough Show. Always configured as a passenger aircraft, 'SBH went on to serve as the company demonstrator until she was scrapped in 1989.

Built in 1984 as the factory demonstrator, 'KP did its first appearance at the Farnborough Airshow in 1986. Sold to Eastern Airways in January 2003, it served as a BAe corporate shuttle before being withdrawn from use in April 2003, before moving to Macclesfield College for use as an instructional airframe. Painted on to a PAD J31 model, it was asked for by a friend, and used by him without the optional cargo pack.
