Sjöfartsverket SAR SE-JRK Leonardo AW139

Available on the Market Place - CLICK HERE TO BUY!

This is a REPLICA series paint job inspired by the AW139 in service with the Swedish Maritime Administration, Sjöfartsverket, operating from Säve Airport (ESGP), Gothenburg, Sweden. The paint box provided is for SAR aircraft Lifeguard 004, SE-JRK.
This real life replica will please pilots who enjoy accuracy in the application of the real markings on the aircraft. Apologies for the black main rotor hub, that should be white, but the D-139 does not allow changing the rotor texture. You can view the actual helicopter used for this livery on the excellent blog by photographer Lloyd Horgan, who spent some time with this particular aircraft and her crew.

EMB-121 Xingu II YP-099 replica over Paris

Real YP-099 taking off from Malta International Airport, 2015-11-17

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.
