FS2004 Braniff BAC One-Eleven 200 Light Green

This light green Braniff International repaint showcases N1549 in the distinctive style that the airline was renowned for during the mid-20th century. Designed specifically for FS2004, this add-on brings the vivid Braniff color palette to your simulator environment. It demands the freeware BAC One-Eleven 200 base model by David Maltby, which is readily accessible in the Fly Away Simulation library. This repaint is the work of Garry Russell.

Braniff’s Colorful Legacy in a Compact Jet

Braniff International was celebrated for its memorable liveries, and this light green scheme is an excellent reflection of the carrier’s expressive visual identity. The BAC One-Eleven (often abbreviated as 1-11) itself was produced by the British Aircraft Corporation and became an influential regional jetliner for short-haul operations. It employed rear-mounted turbofan engines and a T-tail configuration, lending it strong runway performance and a distinctive overall appearance.

Key Features and Historical Structure

This light green repaint faithfully replicates the original look of Braniff’s aircraft, complete with the registration number N1549 and the airline’s unique branding elements. Since Braniff’s fleet of One-Elevens typically omitted the rear drop-down airstairs, you will note that this repaint remains true to that detail. Such accuracy ensures that enthusiasts get the authentic real-world layout without any discrepancies.
