A white twin-engine DA42 aircraft flies above mountainous terrain with green valleys and rugged hills visible below the wings.

A texture for the Iris Pro Series payware DA42 Twin Star. This plane is N-number N987TS, which seems to be based out of Long Beach. Every effort has been made to make sure this plane matches its real world counterpart. Also includes alternative pilot texture for the aircraft, which places the author of this repaint, in the pilot's seat. By John J. Thuot II.
