The EMB-121 has been in use by the French military since 1982. Of a total of 41 aircraft sold to France, 25 were assigned to the Armée de l'Air, and these are represented in this set by serials YB-073 and YP-099. Note that in real life the Xingu operated by the French is the one using two Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-28 three blade propellers, though the French Navy actually bought two Xingu II aircraft equipped with the four blade propeller Pratt & Whitney PT6A-135 (the model Dani Airplane's has available).
YB-073
To celebrate the 30 years and 300,000 hours of flight of the type with the École d'Aviation de Transport (EAT) 00.319, one aircraft received a special livery design in June 2014, being placed at Avord in static display. This livery is an exact replica of YB-073 (except for the 4 blade propellers!) as it stands by the Base Aérienne 702, only in SL you get to fly her!
YP-099
The standard French Armée de l'Air livery was a blue gray in use by 2014 during the celebrations of the 80th anniversary of the French Air Force - with the exception of the engines (the YP-099 uses the 3 blade PT6A-28) this is an exact replica of serial 099 as flown from BA 702, Avord, France, in 2014.
