Air Force liveries

Featured Replies

Hi folks!

 

A couple months ago there was a huge military exercise at Banak (ENNA) in Norway, and one of the local newspapers got a picture of an md-11 on ground that was either a troop transport or just plain cargo (impossible to determine with my limited knowledge on what USAF is using today). But it was definitely US Air Force, it had a grey paint scheme with USAF decals on it). The reporter wrongly called it an A320 (I don't blame him: Big plane? must be an airbus then! As we norwegians seldom see anything but the B737 at our airports, except at ENGM).

 

Anyway, thought it would be interesting to see if such a livery existed for the PMDG. And I have done my dues, searched for it, and then some. But I can't find it! But I know it is out there:

 

I humbly ask for help to find this livery! In fact, I have trouble finding any other liveries for the md-11(f)!!! Using search phrases such as "md-11" or md 11 or *md-11* when searching in the AVSIM library FSX repaints, either turns up zip or totally unrelated downloads.

 

Where's the holy grail of md-11 liveries??? (excluding PMDG's own liveries download page).

 

I feel kinda stupid, for not hacking this...

Hi Kevin!

 

Yes you're probably right! But I'm pretty certain that the youtube video is showing a PMDG MD-11 aircraft with the KC-10 repaint.

 

Or...

Edit: I thought they only used the KC-10 name for their refueling aircrafts. I must be wrong then...

The KC-10 is used for transportation and aerial reueling.

 

I have trouble finding any other liveries for the md-11(f)!!!

 

Try the AVSim library and search for "PMDG MD-11 livery" or a specific livery. Or try Google (or Yahoo, Bing, or any other search engine).

 

md-11 on ground that was either a troop transport or just plain cargo

 

I do not know any country/military that uses the MD-11. The USAF does not operate the MD-11.

 

The reporter wrongly called it an A320

 

The media called a Lufthansa A340 a jumbo jet (the term jumbo jet is specific to the Boeing 747) in the JFK runway problem a year or so back. So I just think it is bad reporting/fact finding. Though the A320 is really different than a DC-10.

Yes, but I'm talking about the newspaper report that you spoke of.

Thanks,

Yes Kevin The newspaper got it all wrong, and so did I. But the question still remains: Someone out there still made a repaint of the PMDG MD-11 that have the KC-10 (or DC-10) USAF colors&decals as the Youtube clip clearly shows. My question, alas not very well put, is: Does someone know if this repaint is available for download somewhere?

 

I humbly await any reply, as I want to land this magnificent aircraft at ENNA with this repaint ^_^

 

Immersion... You use what you have to make it as real as it gets :P

Hi, Morton.

 

There are 2 liveries for the PMDG MD-11X in USAF Travis AFB (AVSIM). One for the GE and another for the PW variant of the MD-11.

 

Search PDMG MD-11 and go thru the pages.

 

Best regards,

 

Milton
