AWESOME EMB-120

Thanks for the link robbier 👍 Very useful! 😀

Cool. I've been looking for this a/c for a while. A few years ago I flew home to Louisiana and this is the plane I was on between KDFW and KLFT. I'd love to get the livery for that a/c Delta had. I think it was Delta Connections and it was a silver metallic livery with their logo. The plane actually looked like it would fall apart, but was quite a pleasant flight. If anyone has or knows where to get that livery I took the flight in March, 2001.

Actually i think they are working on the payware version of this, which will include more, and most likely all the liveries you want. If you want to know any more about the payware version upcoming release, you can always go to their emb-120 forums

by the way their project is no longer suspended

Cool. I'll have a look over there.

I feel very confident that this is the a/c I was on.

I should reemmber it quite well because as I was waiting to board my flight I was staring at that plane hoping it wouldn't be the one I fly in. But, they tricked me...as we were getting checked in and led down the stairs we rounded a corner and there was that plane in front of me. I was not very pleased to see it, but wasn't about to turn back or make a scene.

weren't those planes taken out of service for being dangerous? i'm quite sure these had a problem with poor propeller design and maintenence which led to a few crashes where the prop disentigrated and destroyed the engine.

oh well,i'm downloading it anyway - that can;t happen in the game 😀 it'll do untill i find a nice saab 340 anyhoo...

Oh? So, my fear at seeing that plane was warranted? 😳 At leaest the one I was on didn't cause any problems. Although I would likely have been the first (other than the crew) to know the prop was going to do that since it was right outside my window. Even though it looked like a piece of junk it still flew very well.

The Brasilia has millions of flight hours all over the world and pilots (I hear) love her. Stable, reliable, easy to fly, forgiving. I don't know, but I think they have as good a safety record as any plane.

i've found six prop failures so far. this was one i saw on tv:
