FLAG COLLECTION Aircraft number 2

The Flag Collection has always a country's flag as theme for the livery and the colors and elements used are always related to the country the aircraft represents. The model chosen for this collection, part of the Fantasy Series, is Dani Airplanes' D-207, the Cessna 207 "Stationair 7". It is GTFO enabled so you can go about your hauling in style, sporting your country's colors.
As second Flag Collection aircraft, I decided to make the Brazilian version, in honor of the aircraft maker, Daniels Fall, and all the many Brazilian fliers in SL.

The motifs used range from the Toucan representing the country's wildlife to Carnaval (look for the dancer!), Brasilia's "Dois Candangos" monument by Bruno Giorgi, establishing the link to one of the XX Century's most daring architectural feats (the construction from scratch in four years of the country's capital city using avant guarde architects and urban designers - Brasilia was inaugurated in April 21, 1960) and of course soccer, Brazil's five world titles present on the aircraft elevators, including the years and types of cups won on each.

On the top of the fuselage, this aircraft proudly displays the word "BRASIL" over which Rio de Janeiro's emblem, Christ the Redeemer, is shown. This Flag Collection aircraft is named "Meu Brasil é com S" (my Brazil is spelled with an 'S') from the song lyrics by João Gilberto and Rita Lee - which has a special meaning to all Brazilians... and it is spelled with an 'S'!

Cessna 207 Australia 2020

Available on the Market Place - CLICK HERE TO GET FOR FREE!

 

As the first Flag Collection aircraft, I decided to offer the Australian version, dedicated to raising awareness to the tragedy unfolding at this time in Australia. The devastating wild fires still raging there are causing unimaginable loss and creating an environmental crisis the proportions of which we still have no way to know exactly. This plane is my way of helping to be aware of this disaster that affects us all. And it is free so your only choice will be to fly her and let people know you also care.

On the sides of the fuselage there are two websites where you can find out how to help, if you can, and let others know about it too. The NSW Rural Fire Service donation site is there (see here) and also the Country Fire Authority or CFA (see here) are the two entities the plane has the address to, chosen because of their relation to firefighters active in Australia.

The aircraft shows several elements related to Australia and her wildlife, so punished by this tragedy, as well as the eight regions that make that great country, represented by their flags on both sides of the engine housing. The model was named "Advance Australia", the unofficial motto of the country and in several locations it expresses the wish "Never Again". Let us hope this disaster comes to an end and never happens ever again.

Profile print offered with the livery.

This is a replica livery of the two seat Hornet used in the TOPGUN Maverick movie, coming out this year. The original aircraft is a Super Hornet, so there are minor adjustments to the Hornet frame but it is pretty accurate. Since it is a replica it carries CAPT Pete Mitchell's name and call sign (Maverick). The names shown on the front gear doors are usually the aircraft's ground crew and these are the exact ones displayed on the real life aircraft.

As a curious note - on the real life livery the three aircraft silhouettes representing the three Migs shot down by Pete Mitchell are actually not Mig 29's. In some reference photos Hornet silhouettes were actually used instead (see inserts above)! Go figure. I went with the more generic jet fighter silhouette that shows in some of the photos taken "on set" (some at China Lake, some at Patuxent River and other Navy stations where the movie was shot) - see large real life photo above.

Note also that this variant was never flown with wing fuel tanks so they will not show in any of the ordnance options (arm).

FRAMED AIRCRAFT PROFILE
This livery comes with a framed aircraft profile of this replica for you to display at your home or hangar.
