Flight operations in Antarctica require rugged designed and fuel efficient aircrafts with short takeoff and landing capability. The de Havilland Canada Dash 7 meets these requirements perfectly. Enough reasons to suggest you the recently released de Havilland Canada Dash 7 model for X-Plane 10 by x-plane.org user Stingray14. It comes with an excellent designed 3D-Cockpit and the packages includes a British Antarctic Survey Livery.

Skytraders Antarctic Livery
Dedicated to the upcoming Part 2 of my Antarctica Mesh Scenery, Pedro took one more aircraft into his paint hangar: This time he realized a Skytraders Antarctic Livery for Christian’s Airbus A319.
Skytraders was chosen out of 7 tenders to be the official air link to Antarctica. According to the ABC their world-renowned safety systems won them the tender. They operate an Airbus Corporate Jet between Hobart and a hard glacier runway near Casey Station. [From Wikipedia]
Chilean Air Force Livery
Nino treated Pedro ;-) and I’m now pleased to announce that he painted a Chilean Air Force Livery for his DHC-6 Twin Otter related to my Antarctica Mesh Scenery.
The Antártica Commune has a population of 150 inhabitants on the Chilean bases, according to the census conducted nationwide in 2012, corresponding to 54 civilians and 96 military. These people are mostly members of the Chilean Air Force and their families, who live mostly in Villa Las Estrellas. [From Wikipedia]
British Antarctic Survey Livery
Especially for my Antarctica Mesh Scenery and in conjunction with Paolo’s realization of the Rothera Research Station, Bob painted a British Antarctic Survey Livery for Aero Pedro’s DHC-6 Twin Otter.
The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) is the United Kingdom’s national Antarctic operation and has an active role in Antarctic affairs. BAS is part of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and has over 400 staff. It operates five research stations, two ships and five aircraft in and around Antarctica. [From Wikipedia]
USAF 109th Airlift Wing Livery
Dedicated to my Antarctica Mesh for X-Plane, Bob takes his C-130H conversion for X-Plane 10 in the paint hanger and realized a USAF 109th Airlift Wing Livery.
The 109th Airlift Wing’s mission is to provide airlift support to the National Science Foundation’s South Pole research program by flying LC-130H Hercules airlifters, modified with wheel-ski gear, in support of Arctic and Antarctic operations. The 109th Airlift Wing is the only unit in the world to fly these aircraft. [From Wikipedia]
