I think my first intro to that sort of livery was in a game called Strike Commander LOL! (a Chris Roberts game) Remember that one?
Yes, it looks like they picked up both the A and B models and they upgraded a bunch of systems on them.

That game was considered to have the best graphics for it’s time ha ha! Oh ya, Chris Roberts is still a pretty busy guy isn’t he?

Very busy. You could say he’s somewhat of a…star citizen

Wow, he’s currently 54 years old so he probably started developing Strike Commander when he was only like 22 or 23!

Oh yeah… Didn’t own a PC fast enough to run it well though.
Wonder if they sell rides…
I couldn’t work out how to link this other than through FB, sorry. This doesn’t look ideal. Half the Airbus cockpit has “INOP” stickers on.

Looks like he stuck it for sure. Very flat though. Maybe that’s how those things land.

I think its the procedure at LCY - 6 degree glideslope and short runway means they all land a little hard so they can jump on the brakes. There really isn’t a lot of room to spare for flaring.
Here’s a slightly older landing from the other direction. Since they upgraded the taxiways and lengthened the runway we don’t see many Dash 8’s anymore - it’s mostly 737’s and A220’s these days.

This video and sound are so lovely, that I was tempted to post in a separate thread. A post card from Alaska for all Beaver lovers.

I now understand why a paint job costs so much. Just the thought of having to scrape all that gunge off would give me a panic attack

Whatever those guys are charging, I’d pay…
That’s some nasty stuff!
Beautiful paintjob too.
I liked the old scheme better, but I am a sucker for retro liveries.

I was praying that putrid green paint was a primer coat.

I was actually saying to my wife that I rather liked it. Put a nice shiny clear gloss over the top and it would certainly raise a few eyebrows on the ramp
