    American Airlines - 4-Pack - McDonnell-Douglas MD-80 - Image 1

    Description

    American Airlines is a longstanding legacy US carrier, with an iconic livery that should not need much introduction. During the 1980s, American Airlines and rival TWA started to compete on domestic routes and both chose the McDonnell-Douglas MD-80 as their solution to ensuring cheap domestic fairs.

    In the early 2000s, TWA would be acquired by American Airlines and their MD80 fleets combined, leading to American having the largest single fleet of MD80 series aircraft in the world. 

    This pack of MD80s gives you two options for both variants; two MD82s and two MD83s. 

    N262AA - An MD82 that was delivered new to American Airlines in 1985, staying in the fleet until 2011 when it was scrapped. For a time in its career it sported a partially black nose cone.

    N485AA - An MD82 that was delivered new to American Airlines in 1988, staying in the fleet until 2016. Fun fact, this registration is now worn by a Daher TBM960 as of 2023.

    N971TW - An ex-TWA MD-83 acquired by American Airlines after the merger in 2002. It flew for AAL until 2019, when it was parked in Roswell. More recently, it has been acquired by an unknown operator and been ferried to at least Addis Ababa. It is likely it will be ferried past sanctions to Iran.

    N9628W - An ex-TWA MD-83 acquired by American Airlines after the merger in 2002. It flew for AAL until 2019, when it was parked in Roswell. It has been acquired by Jetran in 2023 and is expected to be parted for spares or scrap.

    Yes it will come soon! I am working on trying to get the common folder stuff and the cockpit configs and tablet screen to all play nice together. They changed up the way the load manager likes to play ball and I wanna do this all one time instead of doing it twice. :)

    I would love to!

    I have no idea where the files are or how to make it point to the blue cockpit.

    I think I can figure that out from there. Though it might increase the file size by a bit which is unfortunate.

    I have some updates coming for these down the line, especially after native FS24.

    I'm really considering dropping support for their installer so I can do common folders and such. It is ridiculous and makes everything much larger to install without it.

    These are FANTASTIC! Is it at all possible you can also make a (fictional) modern AA livery for this plane? Had N501AA in the last sim but no-one has come out with one for MSFS24 yet :(

    Honestly not really. The new AAL tail is incredibly complicated to make, it's gradient but also dot-gradient with hexagons. It's simply not something I have laying around I could use, and I don't think the way that this aircraft paints that it would look well. And to be honest, I wouldn't want to paint it another way than the correct way.

    Great work as always, especially happy to see a black radome variant. Glad you released these and the other AA liveries, wish more people were making retro USA liveries for the 20th anniversary edition

    Thanks much for releasing this version of the old AA colors. I like them so much better than the new livery of American. I miss that old silver flashing in the sun .

    Same! I flew out of MIA a lot when I was a kid and the MD80 was a staple whenever we flew.
