This is a repaint for the amazing SkySpirit 747-8i Series II. It includes the base model, high-quality textures, a VC, and custom ground service vehicles. Canadian Airlines never flew the 747-8i, as by the time the company was absorbed by Air Canada in 1999 the aircraft did not exist. The largest aircraft flown by Canadian Airlines was the Boeing 747-427. However, in our new universe, Canadian Airlines has taken delivery of one single Boeing 747-8i, available to fly any route of your choice. It flies under the registration C-FCDN and the tail number 848. The Rhys T. Eyton Memorial 747-8i Canadian Airlines named all of their 747's, and this one is no different. Like the real-life 747-427 flown under registration C-FGHZ, this aircraft honors the late Rhys T. Eyton, Canadian Airlines CEO between 1989 and 1995. Rhys was a pioneer in Canadian Aviation. He passed away in 2023. Livery Info Upon its founding in 1987, Canadian Airlines revealed its new livery using the colours light grey, dark grey, navy blue, and red. The paint scheme was an adaptation of the recently introduced livery from its predecessor Canadian Pacific Airlines. The lower half of the aircraft's body was navy blue, topped with light grey and red stripes, while the tail was blue, with approximately one-third taken up by the carrier's new logo. The new Canadian Airlines logo was a combination of Canadian Pacific's five grey stripes, representing the five continents served by the carrier. Over these stripes was a thick, bright red chevron. The chevron was a simplification of the Pacific Western Airlines logo. The chevron was placed over the stripes, which then represented "Wings over 5 continents". It was also an ingenious and subtle way to represent the takeover of CP by PWA. The same logo, in a square form, became a clever alternative to a true bilingual name on the fuselage replacing the French "e", and the third "a" in English (Canadian/Canadien). -

It is also the longestpassenger plane in the world. You will have a set of new beautiful and super realistic liveriesfor the Asobo Boeing 747-8. The complex artistic work was created by Tamas Panfi, a young andtalented repainter, using the "3d decals" method to ensure the highestquality resolution of the textures. /images/notams/notams22/perf0422/perfect-flight-2.jpgThe package includes 10 liveries: AlitaliaBritish AirwaysCathay Pacific AirwaysIberiaKorean AirJapan Airlines - JALLufthansaQantas AirwaysSingapore AirlinesVirgin Atlantic /images/notams/notams22/perf0422/perfect-flight-1.jpgPurchase Perfect Flight - Boeing 747-8 Liveries Pack MSFS See other Perfect Flight products for MSFS 2020

/images/notams/notams20/ssg1120/ssg1120.jpgAircraft developer Supercritical Simulations Group (SSG) haveshared a single image of their 747-8 intercontinental lower deckinterior: /images/notams/notams20/ssg1120/ssg-7478.jpgWe're excited to share a preview of our brand new 747-8intercontinental lower deck interior. Modeling has been completed andwill be going into the paint shop soon. We'd love to hear what youthink about it. The Boeing 747-8 is a wide-body airliner developed by BoeingCommercial Airplanes, the latest and largest variant of the 747. Afterintroducing the 747-400, Boeing considered larger 747 versions asalternatives to Airbus A3XX. The stretched 747 Advanced was launchedas the 747-8 on November 14, 2005, for a market forecast of 300aircraft. The first 747-8F Freighter performed its maiden flight onFebruary 8, 2010, and the passenger 747-8I Intercontinental followedsuit on March 20, 2011. The cargo version was first delivered inOctober 2011 and the airliner began commercial service in June2012.

/images/notams/notams19/ssg0210/ssg-1.jpgHappy Birthday to the Queen - February 9, 2019 In honor of the 50th anniversary of the real Boeing 747's firstflight, here are some sneak previews of the SSG 747-8 Version 2external model. We at SSG are working on several fronts for this huge project, andthis preview focuses on the external model. The entire aircraft isbeing redone, including the following: /images/notams/notams19/ssg0210/ssg-2.jpgNew fuselageAdded fuselage animations and details (pretty much anything that can open/move on the aircraft is modeled)New cut windows instead of texturesNew stabilizers with added detailsNew nacelles and enginesReworked landing gearImproved flapsThe textures for the entire aircraft are also new to match the newmodel in 4K resolution and of very high quality, along with decals forcertain detailed areas, right down to most of the externalplacards. We are working closely with our technical advisors to ensureall the main details are present and that we are getting themright. /images/notams/notams19/ssg0210/ssg-3.jpgSimilar work is being done in the cockpit, cabin, and for itssystems, autoflight and FMS. It is not a mere update, this will be awhole new aircraft. We congratulate Boeing on the anniversary of this amazing aircraftand look forward to sharing with you more details of Version 2 as wecomplete development work. /images/notams/notams19/ssg0210/ssg-4.jpgSincerely, - The SSG Team Source /images/notams/notams19/ssg0210/ssg-5.jpg
