National Airways Corporation Yak-40

A Yak-40 in a fictional paint of New Zealand's National Airways Corporation. During the 1960's, the Government owned National Airline Corporation (NAC) of New Zealand had introduced the Boeing 737-200 to the Main trunk routes, with the provinces being served by Fokker F-27 series 100 Friendships. The board of NAC started to look for a replacement for the F-27, and among the considered options were the then new Regional Jets. Options looked at were the Fokker F-28 Fellowship, Hawker Siddley's new HS.146 and the Soviet Yakovlev YAK-40 trijet. As these were being investigated, the 1973 Oil Crisis and a drop in passenger numbers saw the board opt for the 500 series of the F-27.This paint is a fictional imagining of such an airplane had it gone into service.

This has been tested in FSX Acceleration with no problems. For the Suprunov Design Yak-40. Textures only. By Hayden Himburg/Fr8paints.
