May 6, 201115 yr This is a must have! The new Air Jamaica livery looks perfect on the 738!!!! +1 Paul Kawalec Chicago O'Hare Int. Airport . Last flight: 6-11-11 - B737-700 - Southwest Airlines #2139 - KMDW -> KTPA
May 6, 201115 yr That is a 737 Advanced. Captain Sim is making a 737 Advanced, taht you should check into for this paint. I know it's a 732, and I know CS are making one, just saying that's what my NGX livery will be as soon as I get the paintkit. Couldn't care less for realism in that regard TBH
May 6, 201115 yr Slightly off topic but we had a 200 adv departing FACT a few years ago which quite literally lost an Engine on takeoff...Left it on the runway infact! It happend just after rotation and the crew did an awesome job of nursing her back home. ( the airline in question is no longer in operation, for a number of reasons - certainly questionable maintenance played its part in its downfall - possibly loss of customer confidence as well!)

May 6, 201115 yr They sure don't make 'em like they used to! In the times when those old aircraft were built, things didn't just break down - they came right off!!! LOL Matthew Bellette
May 6, 201115 yr They sure don't make 'em like they used to! In the times when those old aircraft were built, things didn't just break down - they came right off!!! LOLIf you search Nationwide 737 engine loss on the web you can see the whole story and some shots of the aircraft minus said powerplant! The report must be out there somewhere as well - but poor maintenance was a major factor if memory serves me! Anthony Milner
May 6, 201115 yr and 737-800 RAM (Royal Air Maroc), please, see link belowhttp://www.airliners.nl/images_NEW/110606-RAM-CN-RNR.jpgbest regards+1 for Royal Air Maroc :-) too much, too soon....

May 7, 201115 yr I like Tuifly and they have this one special livery:maybe possible to see this :) Edit: here is a bigger picture: regards, Alexander Marx
May 8, 201115 yr No offense, but I have to laugh at some of the NGX requests on here. Southwest??....Ryanair??......American?? That's like finding out about a new restaurant opening in your neighborhood called "Guiseppi's Italian Family Restaurant" and suggesting they put spaghetti and meatballs, or chicken parm on the menu. Uh, I think it's covered!! Ron Priever

It happend just after rotation and the crew did an awesome job of nursing her back home. ( the airline in question is no longer in operation, for a number of reasons - certainly questionable maintenance played its part in its downfall - possibly loss of customer confidence as well!)From the CAA report. Full report can be found here: http://www.caa.co.za/resource%20center/accidents%20&%20incid/reports/2007/8383.pdfDuring a take-off from Runway 01 at FACT, the right-hand engine separated from the wing.Following the engine separation, the aircraft continued to climb. The captain declared anemergency and his intention to land back on Runway 01. The aircraft was cleared for landingback on Runway 01 by ATC. The crew executed an uneventful single-engine approach andlanded on Runway 01 at the aerodrome of departure.The engine investigation revealed that the separation was as a result of the failed aft cone bolt,the outboard front cone bolt and the engine secondary support assembly. The aft secondarysupport was not recovered for examination. The abovementioned failures resulted in the engineseparation from the right-hand wing.All recovered failed components were subjected to a metallurgical analysis which revealed thatthe aft cone bolt had failed as the result of fatigue. The fatigue failure was attributed to theprobability of incorrect installation (under-/over torque). The front outboard cone bolt and frontengine support structure failed in overload as the engine swung forward and sideways during thesequence of the engine separation.Probable CauseRight-hand engine separated due to the failure of the aft cone bolt as the result of a pre-existingfatigue crack which was most likely caused by incorrect installation of the cone bolt.IARC Date Henk Hugo Cape Town, South Africa
May 8, 201115 yr I'd like to see an Aer Lingus, even though we only even operated the classics I'd still like to see a shamrock livery.Those were the days... Rónán O Cadhain.
