On 11th October 1970 had PH-BUA her first Flight and was 3 Months later delivered to KLM.
The "Mississippi" was Boeing's first 747-200 and the first widebody for KLM. 
She could accommodate 353 passengers, had its own bar on the top deck and flew to New York for the first time on 15th February 1972.
However, on November 25th 1973 she was the Target of a hijacking by three Terrorists that fortunately ended in Dubai with no human casualties.
After 25 years in Service for KLM and America West Airlines she was scrapped in 1996.

She had her first flight on June 7, 1978 from Everett and was then delivered to the Israeli EL AL Airline.
Normally configured for 470 seats, she could also function as a pure freighter as she was equipped with a bow cargo door!
What makes she so special to this day, however, is a flight that took place during Operation Solomon between May 23rd and 25th 1991.
During this Operation, over 14.000 Ethiopian Jews were flown out of Addis Ababa on over 30 Israeli Air Force and EL AL transport aircraft, including three 747s!
On one of these flights, a total of 1,088 passengers were flown to Tel Aviv with this 747, a world record that remains unbroken to this day!
What was also unusual was that this flight was flown without an autopilot, as the automatic trim did not work properly before departure from Addis Ababa
and last but not least, a child was born during the flight, breaking the record twice in one flight! 
After 31 Years in Service for EL AL and also for Cargo Air Lines, she was scrapped in July of 2009.

On 13.July 1969 had N93101 her first Test Flight! She was the fifth built Boeing 747 ever made and was one of the First to have vertical tape instruments for the engine monitoring in the Cockpit!
She was also the First to be delivered to TWA in August 1970 and the Airline celebrated that with painting a 5 on the Front of the Aircraft. 
Five Years later, meanwhile converted to a freighter/tanker, she was took over by the Iranian Air Force, where she was in Service most of her active time. 
With her last Registration as EP-CQB from 2016 is her current state unkown and the last "In Flight" Spotter Photo which i have found from her in the Net was from September 2019. 
But nevertheless, with over 50 years in service she has been the oldest flying 747 of all!

FSX C-133B Cargomaster. A reworked version for FSX of Tim Conrad's legendary C133 B. Adds new photorealistic main, overhead and flight engineer 2D panels, reworked gauges for the VC and added new internal and external views. Also adds a new .air file for this version, because some systems didn't worked properly with the old one. The original .air file is also included. Also includes an interesting iceing mod by Charles Owenk. Many thanks to Tim Conrads for his great C-133 sim, Philippe Wallaert and all the other unknown guys for the gauges used in the main and VC panel and Halcyon Skies for the C-133 cockpit photos. This is the whole aircraft, only tested in FSX + Acceleration. By Andiroto.

FSX Boeing 707 Reworked Libardo Guzmans 707 model with photorealistic FE and Overhead panels! Many thanks to the people of the 707jet.com site for the really nice pictures and the permission to use them! This package based mainly on Michael Pooks and Phillipe Wallerts work and i used many features and gauges of them but its nevertheless a new package! I have tried to reduced digital gauges so far it was possible and you have now a Sperry Autopilot where you must "fly" your target VSI and altitude! Please read the instructions, because i reworked the engine start procedures and therefore the fuel and bleed air system as well as the weight data of this model! Many thanks to Libardo Guzman for his model of this iconic aircraft, Michael Pook and Phillipe Wallert for their packages and of course the many unknown people which created gauges in the past and are now part of this panel! Only tested in FSX & Acceleration! By Andiroto

FSX VC Rain Fix. A reworked version of Gerrit Kranenbarg's vcrain effect mod, so that you can see in FSX with FS2004 models through the VC cockpit windows when it rains! Many thanks to Gerrit Kranenberg for his original mod which i have used really a long time but it worked no longer under my new system, so I revised all files! Maybe someone has the same problem and want to try these new files out! By Andiroto.

FSX Firespray 31X. One of the reasons why Star Wars is still so popular after over 40 years is surely the creative and unique designs of the vehicles! Back then, Boba Fett's ship was a mystery to me! After seeing "The Empire Strikes Back" in the cinema for the fifth time, I tried to recreate this strange ship with Lego at home from my memories! Now through the Corona break I had the opportunity to build my first model for FSX and it had to be this bird... This model has no VC, one texture but a nice 2D panel (Thanks to Battlefront 2 for the Slave 1 panel background)! Many thanks to Bruce Fritzgerald for his flight dynamic settings (FDE), Milton Shupe and Krispy1001 for their Gmax and Blender entry-level videos and the people from the FSDeveloper site for their Blender tool! Without their work I could not have exported anything for FSX (have no FSX SDK)! Tested only in FSX/ACC! By Andiroto.

FSX/P3D TWA Boeing 747-131 1976. This is a repaint of the 747-131 in TWA 'Star Stream' colors. The freeware 747-200 'Ready For Pushback' - RFP is needed for this repaint. This is a repaint of TWA 747-131, delivered to TWA on February 23 1970 and flew for the carrier until September 1997. The actual aircraft, as mentioned above, was a 747-100, as RFP only has the 200 model, I used that model for the repaint. Also, I have used the FSX version of the RFP model that was converted from FS2004 to FSX by a dedicated simmer named Andiroto. A link for his conversion is provided. For the FS2004 users, the RFP 747-200 is available here on Flightsim. The file is: "rfp_v2.zip". Textures are 32bit DDS. This repaint was tested FSX-SE. It should work on FSX and P3D v1-3. By Ted Giana.

FSX Simple Ramp Gauge. Activation with a click: exits 1-4, tailhook, wing fold, jetway, pushback (left, straight and right). Only tested in FSX and Acceleration. By Andiroto.

FSX Boeing 747-200 Flight Engineer Panel. Special thanks to Barnaby Britton for permission to use his really nice (and complete) flight engineer panel photo, many thanks also to the "747 classic" site for the fuel dump panel picture. Panels tested only in FSX + Acceleration with "Ready for Pushback (RFP) 747-200" and "Openskys" 747-200. By Andiroto.

FSX Scenery--Paris Air Show, France. A simple scenery of this air show. Built and tested with Whisplacer and FSX Acceleration for the standard scenery of Le Bourget Airport (LFPB). By Andiroto.

FSX Scenery--ILA 2008 Berlin. Build and tested with FSX plus Acceleration. You need also the scenery Berlin Airport (EDDB-2012-FSX.ZIP) by Gernot Zander that all fits properly. Scenery was inspired by the ILA 2008 in Berlin Schoenefeld. Berlin at runway 25R! Changes nothing from Gernot Zander's scenery, only adds some FSX/Acceleration objects for the ILA area. By Andiroto.
