    Two liveries representing N623US, a 1979 Boeing 747-251B which was operated by Northwest Airlines between 1979 and 2009, when it was stored and later sold to Kalitta Air. Interestingly, the airframe would be re-designated N706BL the following year, and was the only aircraft to be painted in the livery of the infamous Baltia Air Lines, now known as USGlobal Airways, which was founded in 1989 and as of 2023 has still yet to operate a single revenue flight. The aircraft sat idle at Willow Run Airport in Ypsilanti, Michigan, before Baltia announced that it would no longer attempt to use the aircraft for revenue service and it was flown to the Kalitta Air maintenance and repair facility at Oscoda-Wurtsmith Airport for scrapping in 2017. The two liveries included in this download depict N623US at two points during its service with Northwest when it wore the "Bowlingshoe" or "Red Top" livery. The first depicts the aircraft circa 2004, in a cleaner, fresher state with the Northwest-KLM logo, and the second how it appeared near the end of its service life in 2008, with faded paint, heavy weathering, and the Northwest-KLM logo removed. INSTALLATION: Unzip "Northwest N623US.zip" to a temporary folder such as your desktop. Then, simply drag and drop the two included livery folders into your X-Plane/Aircraft/747 Felis X.X.X/liveries folder

    A livery representing N204AE, a 1975 747-2B4B(M) during its brief service with Egyptian flag carrier EgyptAir from 1985 to 1986. The airframe was later converted into a freighter and went on to serve with Kalitta Air in the United States as N713CK until its retirement in 2013. This particular livery only has two windows plugged, but in order for them to appear as such you must have the following mod installed: LINK

    This is a set of three liveries representing N806FT, a 1979 Boeing 747-249F (serial number 21827) at various points during its service with the now defunct U.S. cargo carrier Flying Tigers, and following their merger, briefly with Federal Express. (After which it maintained most of its distinctive livery, with all of the Flying Tigers logos and titles scratched off or painted over). Numerous techniques combined with fairly extensive testing have been combined to create what I hope is the most accurate possible recreation of this aircraft within X-Plane, (both 11 and 12), and although it is far from perfect, I hope that it is satisfactory. That being said, I am currently going through the process of creating accurate custom cockpit textures for this airframe and all other FTL airframes, but since this is a very time consuming process I decided to publish this set of liveries anyway, and thus the cockpit textures will be released at a later date when they are ready. Please don't hesitate to let me know if you encounter any inaccuracies or have any suggestions for future additions. I do intend to replicate more Flying Tigers liveries in the near future, including some of their more interesting hybrid liveries, so stay tuned if that interests you. Huge thanks to @dial_a_flap for allowing me to use assets from his excellent "shark mouth" livery, which you can find here: LINK It saved me a ton of time and frustration. In order to have most of the windows realistically plugged like in the provided screenshots, please download and install the following mod: LINK Enjoy!

    This is a set of four liveries representing N603PE, a 1970 Boeing 747-143 (MSN 19729) and N605PE, a 1972 Boeing 747-243B (MSN 20520) during the time that both airframes spent with People Express Airlines, as well is in their later hybrid liveries following the purchase of People Express by Continental Airlines. Both were later repainted in the standard Continental "Meatball" (and eventually "Globe)" liveries, but for a couple of years they still sported the old People Express colors with Continental titles and logo as is depicted here. All four liveries include custom exterior and interior textures, normals, and compatibility with the Window Plug Mod by Future_Pilot_Sweden, which you can download here: https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/77373-felis-747-200-freighter-window-plug-mod/ (Highly recommended for accurate windows). I may include further tail numbers in the future, and intend to update all of my liveries in the future as soon as I complete my cockpit texture overhaul project, so I recommend following this file so that you can be notified whenever I publish an update. Please let me know if you run into any issues or have any suggestions or requests, I will consider all of them, but please keep in mind that I do this for free on my own time. Enjoy!
