Another nice paint Ray. Do they still use the C135 from time to time or is it fully retired now. Any chance of a Boeing 727 Zero G repaint? I think that ai aadvark has an ai model 727 (Not military I know, but nice anyway).

That C135 is retired and is not going anywhere http://www.airliners.net/photo/NASA/Boe ... 1761453/L/

And are you talking about the Amerijet Zero G 727? Cause that plane has been painted already (ajt_727_fleet.zip on avsim)

According to this http://www.flickr.com/photos/sean_cronin/5721755167/ N931NA is on display at the Pima Air and Space Museum in Arizona.

I have downloaded & have it flying from the shuttle landing strip in Florida as it still looks good, so thanks for the paint Ray.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction for the 727. Do yo know where it flies from?

The 727 seems to spend time at KLAS, in my sim. AIG did the Amerijet International Flight plans WI08-09

Nice paint, I have several non-military models flying around, mainly government stuff or contract cargo. Now only if someone can design a FP that has a set of different altitude waypoints for either model (-135, 727) to do the parabolic maneuver. I sometimes catch my WOAI airliners diving for the deck at 70 degrees nose down!

Ray,

Sorry for the confusion the 727 (N749AJ) is the "zero G" aircraft that civilians can pay to fly in. Amerijet owns it.

The C-135 replacement is now a DC-9-30 I forget the N number, but it is also based at Ellington.
