FSX US Department of State Basler BT-67 N707BA

This package provides an exclusive repaint depicting N707BA, a Basler BT-67 operated by the US Department of State. Built upon the classic Douglas DC-3 airframe, the BT-67 conversion enhances overall performance through turboprop engines, improved aerodynamics, and a modernized cockpit layout. These upgrades allow for greater reliability and versatility, making it a popular choice for specialized transport and government operations.

Key Details for the Repaint

This offering is textures only and is specifically designed for use with the freeware Basler BT-67 base pack created by Daniel Fuernkaess, Manfred Jahn, Alexander M. Metzger, and Hansjoerg Naegele. The aircraft itself is compatible with Microsoft Flight Simulator X and reflects the “DoS Air Wing” markings for N707BA. The livery was crafted by Daniel Fuernkaess (Cheese-Strike Repaints).

Livery Highlights

• Authentic US Department of State markings adapted for the BT-67 airframe.
• Distinctive twin-turboprop visual details that complement the rugged DC-3 structure.
• Fine-tuned exterior textures for enhanced realism during closer camera views.
