Thanks very much Rik, have a good weekend  ;D

Hi Rik, can you do me a flag for OY-SYA , Maersk Air Cargo , B763 please.
Thanks
Ben

rikgale

All done.
I have just called it SRR-B763. Need to re badge the old Star Air sides with the Maersk Logo and those will be SRR-B763OLD / SRR-B762OLD as it seems that most of the fleet is still wearing the Star Air livery.
I got a mass of stuff to post up (mostly silhouettes - about 100 standard and similar number of DV), I just keep getting distracted.

Thanks Rik, will leave you alone so you can get them put up  ;D

Please keep requesting... it's a job that I have been putting off for weeks! You not requesting will not make any difference to my motivation on that front;) So please keep going.

Been distracted building a Pi NAS box with media server - 1x 8GB Pi, 1x240GB SSD (boot drive) 2x2TB SSD (RAID1) and 2x8TB HDD (RAID1) running OpenMediaVault with JellyFin as the media streaming service, it also handles a WireGuard VPN, ZeroTier End Node, duckdns IP updater and at somepoint will also be a Pi-Hole (probably, if I can be ar$3d). All wrapped in an Argon EON case. Xmas vouchers and overtime well spent!

Can we get some Operator Flags for the Swedish Police Helis? :D

All the helis with registration numbers and photos are here:

https://nordicrotors.com/companies/swedish-police-wing

EDIT: Oh some of them are wrecked, let me get you the actual list

These are all alive and well:

SE-HPG
SE-HPK
SE-HPR
SE-JPU
SE-JPX
SE-JPS
SE-JPR
SE-JPV
SE-JPY
SE-JPT
SE-JPN
SE-JPO


The Jxx ones are the new ones, all are Bell 429. The Hxx ones are the old helis, but they are still registered and working.

Btw if you are bored some day, here are all the registered helicopters in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland:

Hey rikgale, how about USN TH-57C (code B06)?

rikgale

Can do - Interestingly enough I did one of the new TH-73A Thrashers whilst doing the navy T-45

Thanks for the photo - saves me a job ;)

EDIT: Oh jeez, I just realized the WC-130s are already in there, as RCH-WC130J. I'd searched for *C30J* and thus didn't see them. Nevermind about them, lol.

Got another one (two). The 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron, better known as the Hurricane Hunters, fly the WC-130J out of Keesler AFB in Biloxi, MS; externally they're mostly just C30Js but with such a unique mission it'd be cool if they had their own flag. A distinguishing mark might be the black stripe on the tail:


The other candidates are the NOAA WP-3D Orions, N42RF (A52242) and N43RF (A4FAC3), which have a bulbous radome under the fuselage and a fat stinger housing a tail radar in place of the magnetic anomaly detector stinger on subhunting P-3s:



These apparently should use an ICAO operator code of NOA, which might deserve its own generic operator flag considering they have at least nine or ten aircraft, DHC-6s, B350s, and a Gulfstream IV in addition to the P-3s.

Also, noticed an error: the WB-57 Canberras, used by NASA, have the filename `NASA-WB58.bmp`. (Though it would be incredibly cool to have weather/observation B-58 Hustler conversions. Alas.) Should be NASA-WB57.bmp

Thanks for the heads up on the typo.
Others added to the to-do list.
FYI - Some of the military/special stuff is named by model code rather than icao model code, but glad you found the WC-130

Heya, can we get a generic flag for the Mexican Air Force (ICAO: FAM)? There's a FAM-B738, but I've picked up a FAM GLF5 flying around, and given my location I'm sure I'll see more FAM planes in the future.
