BK117 livery CN 7017 COLANI'S SPACESHIP - EXCLUSIVE TO X-PILOT.COM

Repaint for Nils Danielsson's excellent payware MBB BK-117.

Simply unzip the file "COLANI'S SPACESHIP" into your xplane/aircraft/helicopters/bk117/liveries folder.

In the early days of the BK117, MBB contracted well-known designers of the day to create eye-catching designs to highlight and advertise the BK117 at various trade fairs and airshows. In 1986 taking the BK117's sales slogan of Space ship (the ship with roominess), Luigi Colani created his now-famous livery, "Colani's Spaceship," to coincide with Halley's Comet which was visible that year.

The aircraft was exhibited at the Farnborough Airshow from 2nd-9th September 1984 in its factory paint, and as Colani's Spaceship from 31st August to 7th September 1986, before the aircraft was sold and the livery lost for good.

Of note, before Colani painted it, 7017's first role was as testbed for High Temperature Tests, carried out in Khartoum from May 1st to 12th 1983.
