FSX Afghan Air Force Cessna 208B Grand Caravan

Afghan Air Force livery for the Cessna 208B Grand Caravan adds authentic YA12287 markings with crisp exterior textures that suit military utility flying. Built for FSX, it requires the payware Carenado Cessna 208B and integrates cleanly as an additional repaint option while preserving the aircraft’s original virtual cockpit and performance.
