For Steve Dra...iFly 744BCF

[gsand]

Hi Steve,

These are for you, headed around KCPR a bit to try her out and she's a beaut!

 

 

As an unapologetic Fr8 Dawg you know I'm partial to the cargo haulers. Thanks for these great paints and all your work through the years. It's greatly appreciated!

[Steve Dra]

Thanks Gerald!

Great shots but there is only one minor problem....I didn't paint that one. 

The real-life Fr8 Dawg painted it....Brian Thibodeaux. 🙂

We both love the NWA freighter, but he called dibs on it....and I had my hands full with a few other paints, hehe.

I did get to do the Cathay Cargo in metal (and white), the the JAL Cargo "Silver Bullet" I just released today....just waiting for you to continue your Pacific runs. 🙂

@gsand Awesome! Thanks for posting a screenshot.  Not often I get to see my work fly!  Thanks @Steve Dra 😁. To Steve's credit, he taught me pretty much all the tricks I know.  When I met him I was like "OOOH COOL LAYERS ARE AWESOME!" Barely scratched the surface.  word not allowed more like just looking at the surface at that point.  Anyways, Steve also made a very MINOR contribution to they paint and provided the metal layer. You know, the easy stuff.  😏

Great camaraderie, guys! Of course, I knew, if it's a 747, Steve would probably have a hand in it...no matter how many Bizjets (or Props) he flies otherwise...🙂....

Lovely and fitting paint for the NWA Cargo!

Great shot, too, punching through the dense clouds!

Great looking set of the NWA freighter. I worked for 7 years at KMSP in NWA'S cargo.

@thibodba57 Apologies Brian! Red face and all that...😱. Seriously outstanding effort on this paint, you two really nailed it.

@Steve Dra You two make a great team! Grabbing the CP now, will post a few later today. Thanks again.

Hehe....haven't sat in the pilot's seat of a bizjet or my beloved TBM since this project started....I may have forgotten how to fly!😨

Great to hear....our own Library Manager Brian Neuman did a stint at NWA, over on the pax side though.  Sure miss the bowling shoe and older liveries gracing the skies....freakin EVIL Delta!!!  Never warmed up to the final Silver livery.
