I  am searching the model of Italian Piaggio P149D, also built in license by Focke Wulf Germany
- no matter what platform, FS5, 98, 2000 or 2002

see some shots at Jocki's screenshots in MSN
http://groups.msn.com/OfficialFlightSimulatorSite/shoebox.msnw

This plane was in service like a basic trainer till end 60ies - early 70ies in the German and Italian airforce. By the time every student pilot had to fly the piaggio first to advance later on to Starfighter, Phantom, Noratlas, Helicopters etc.
In today's real world it is a well known vintage plane all over the world, owned privately, by aeroclubs and still some in the German Army I think

I am looking forward to see some results...

happy safe landings
Jochen

and you forget that the "Piggi" was used by Swissair until relatively recently.  Some of the ex-Swissair Piggis have been sold in the US

Hi Felix,
although that wasn't the context in my request:

the piaggio149 had been been flown in many countries and still is...
and by the way:
The FWP149 only had been built in license by focke wulf for the german airforce and was never delivered to switzerland..
swissair bought it straight from piaggio - and there is still a P149 trainer in service,
somewhere in Hausen/, but I don't know what hausen and which company, must be somewhere in switzerland.

However, do you know anything about an airfile respect./ a model or not ?


happy soft landings

I haven't seen one yet.

I started one, but other things have put that one on the back burner ...  but it is tempting, since I took photos of some of the ex-Swissair piggis in Sanford (SFB) Florida.

Théy're actually bigger than I thought, and have a sort of "aggressive" look to them.

really ?
I mean if you are capable and tempted,
an old men's heart would be very happy...

I have quite a big panel photo of a swiss P149D.
I had own fotos, but I lost them on my move to Spain.

If you wish, I email that panel to you,
just let me know..

Hi guys,

Swissair just sold all its piggis during the last couple of years. Also the panel that Swissair had in their piggis is not the original and is highly modified.

I would also be very interested in a fs 2002 model for the piggi. I am one of the lucky people on earth that can still fly the piggi since my dad owns one... So let me know
