Crank It Back: A US Retro Wishlist

[Aviation Enjoyer]

That would be interesting.

And a 727-100 in this livery along with it!

 

[Purpleplane]

That would be interesting also

More T-Tails, how many times will we have to tell manufacturers before more are done lol.

YES! This looks absolutely stunning! I wish Gemini would listen to the community, this thread would be a literal goldmine for them!

I don't think this thread would had existed in the first place if they listened to us more! Or this thread would had been much different if Gemini did listen to us.

I wish someone from Gemini could be on this forum. I know one gentleman from another forum who has connections with GJ, maybe he could see this and forward some of this.

Possibly. Or we could wait for Aeroclassics or NG to do one of these.

Another suggestion for Andrew. Nobody served our republic like Republic did.

Judge from your profile picture, you really want to see this made.

Affirmative. Anything of North Central and Republic (preferably the full flavor livery) I will demand.

I am very sure that all of us would benefit from an American Airlines Fokker 100

 

[Purpleplane]

I know I would also benefit from a US Airways F-100 in the dark blue scheme.

I would! 1992 extends a warm welcome.

All NG Models. Late 1990s - mid 2000s mainly.

• AirTran 737-700 - N336AT
• America West A319 - N802AW
• Continental 737-700 - N24706
• Delta 737-800 - N371DA (Ron Allen Livery; this plane was the first 737 NG delivered to Delta)
• Frontier A319 - Any, there's so much to choose from (N947FR pictured)
• Northwest A319 - N364NB (2003 Livery)
• Northwest A320 - N314US (Bowling Shoe Livery)
• Song 757-200 - N6714Q
• Ted A320 - N459UA
• U.S. Airways A321 - N161UW (first A321 delivered for an airline in the United States)

Hopefully they'll have a 767 mold one day because there would be a ton of retros to choose from, both domestically and internationally.

Oh yes... I would love to have some Qantas 763s from NG!

A rerelease of this model from 2007 by @AKlein707 would be welcomed by all of us. Just saw one of these going for over $300 on eBay, and past listings have been at similar price points. You’d think a model that goes for that much on the secondhand market (assuming it’s been like this for a long while too) would deserve a rerelease!

Yep, it was originally released in 2007 with only 240 units made almost 16 years ago, so a re-release would be a good thing.

 

[JJ Skippy]

@AKlein707 another suggestion for you… I’d be shocked if this has been produced before.

 

[Purpleplane]

I think it's a pretty safe bet that one's not been made yet.
