Looking for a designer for Memorial Aircraft

I am looking for a good aircraft designer to create a couple of aircraft for FS 2000. A few of my buddies and I just picked up the game and have been addicted to it. Because of our close association to Bayflight and my time served in the Corps, we have a few dear requests for aircraft since we neither have the Utilities or the know how to create them.

1. Bayflight BK-117. This is a medical helicopter used in Tampa. One of the helicopters crashed a few years ago and we lost several good friends. We want to make one for them.

2. MCAS Beaufort SAR CH-46. Angel One, one of the SAR birds crashed while on a rescue mission over the Atlantic. All the crew members were rescued except for the Corpsman on board. We would like to make one for Angel One.

3. VMFA (AW) 533 and 332. The aircraft from these two squadrons provided air support for me and my marines during Ooperation Allied Force. They also have dropped bombs in Afghanistan, and Iraq. These two squadrons are located at MCAS Beaufort.

4. F-4U Corsair flown by Pappy Boyington, the legendary Black Sheep Squadron.

And out of curiousity, can anyone make the Blue Thunder Helicopter? If anyone can do any of these airecraft, please email me at firehawkv8@yahoo.com or you can easily find these aircraft on the net. Thanks and Semper Fi.

Thanx guys, I now have the Blue Thunder and the Bayflite BK 117. However, I noticed that the CH-46 isnt on the Helo page, but a close facimily, CH-113 is. I have no clue or software on repainting anyway. Will all FS98 work on FS2K?
I didn't see a USMC F-4U.

MFS have an "upward" compatibility,  but no "backwards" meaning that fs98 planes will work up to fs2k2 (not sure in fs2k4) FS98 modles did look great in fs98 and using that sim they do, bt when you go into better sims or may i say more complex sims they tend to look very outdated and i think some of the magic is lost. Repainting fs98 models is very easy (you can even use the paint program) but you
