FS2004 South African Airways Boeing 737-800 ZS-SJE

Textures only for Erick Cantu's Kittyhawk Productions model (KH737800.ZIP). This is a 32-bit hand drawn repaint of ZS-SJE and is accurately painted to represent the plane as it appears in the world today. Repainted by Philip Foglar.

After releasing my repaints of South African Airways ZS-SDH "Bosbok" and ZS-SDF "Eland", Erick Cantu of Kittyhawk released his wonderful new Boeing 737-800 model as well as an update to his new Boeing 737-700 model. These models are really good and I could not pass up the chance to paint my second version of South African Airways Boeing 737-800 ZS-SJE. My original version "SAA ZS-SJE.zip" and winglet upgrade "SAA ZS-SJE Winglet Upgrade.zip" was painted on Erick's old model that was released under SGA and is still available at Avsim Online was a great success. And is still enjoyed by many users.

This model is far more refined than the old one and so I decided to redo the repaint from scratch. For the best results I have also decided to release these textures in high quality 32-bit format - I might release a DXT3 format version after this release.

This repaint is based on ZS-SJE and is accurately painted to represent the plane as it appears in the world today and therefore has winglets. Originally South African Airways fleet of Boeing 737-800 aircraft were supplied without winglets. So I have made the option available to use this repaint with or without the winglets.

The model(s) that I used for this repaint is "kittyhawk_737-800.zip".

I hope that you enjoy flying her. Enjoy!

Thanks to the Kittyhawk team for making this superb plane. And thanks to Erick Cantu for these awesome models. I would also like to thank the freeware developers out there for all their awesome goodies, thanks guys. Keep up the good work.

description=One should hardly be surprised that the world's most prolific manufacturer of commercial aircraft is also the producer of the world's most popular jetliner. The 737 became the best-selling commercial jetliner worldwide when orders for it hit 1,831 in June 1987 (surpassing Boeing's own 727 as the previous champ). However, it wasn't always that way\s in the first few years of production, there were so few orders that Boeing considered cancelling the program. They didn't, and the airplane has more than proven itself in over three decades of service. The 737-800 is one of the latest in the 737 family, and the second longest of the NG series. The 737-800 is powered by twin CFM56-7B turbofans and has the option of winglets. Painted by Philip Foglar.
