B727-200 Northwest

I had a Boeing 727-200 in Northwest Airlines livery but for some reason it disappeared. It is very important to me because it is the aircraft I assigned as a charter to fly the Minnesota Twins to their away games and back. If you know of where I can get it back, let me know at bilben94@gmail.com. :(

I am in contact with this gentleman - but for anyone else who may be interested, I highly recommend the 727-200 Vistaliner series by Eric Cantu.

In my opinion it is one of the most beautiful airliners to ever fly.

His base pack can be downloaded here:

and there are many repaints available at various DL sites.

I second the Vistaliners vote of confidence, Erick Cantu's 722 is a work of art - although I haven't seen a Northwest repaint for it. However, over at SimV's sister site HJG, they have Erick's 727-100 with a Northwest livery (also a brilliant model), and as a bonus there's the Richard Probst panel, which combined with the 727 is almost as good as it gets for a non-VC plane.

There was an update to the Probst panel posted here a few days back which adds full fuel panel functionality . I have downloaded it but haven't tried it yet.

They were up and running a few days ago - possibly maintenance going on or a provider issue on their end.

We've got the plane here, but not the livery, so until the Vistaliners site comes back online, these should do the trick. ;)

Plane: http://www.simviation.com/simviation/in ... 83&page=13

Textures for Northwest:http://www.flightsim.com/file.php
(There are 6 different Northwest paint schemes on this page, so hopefully one of them is the one you are after.)

EDIT: That link wouldn't work for some reason, try this one: http://www.flightsim.com/file.php?cm=SEARCH
and use this search term: Northwest Vistaliners 727-200

Been there, done that. I found enough Northwest B727's to satisfy any demands placed upon me by the Minnesota Twins and then some. Thanks to all for your help in locationg what I needed. ;)
