File Name: Helitreck 225 File Submitter: Nicola_M File Submitted: 04 Aug 2012 File Category: Helicopters X-Plane Version(s): X-Plane 9 & 10 Livery For: Click Here For Aircraft This is the latest in my series of BK117 liveries. Helitreck 225. I can't say with certainty very much about this aircraft, VH-FHB (c/n 1056, built 1990) and its twin, VH-FHF (c/n 1093, built 1991). Both are identically painted, with FHB numbered 225 on the tail, and FHF numbered 226. I've seen these two aircraft described as owned by Altitude Aviation, NSW Fire & Police, and also by Helitreck Aviation, so I'm guessing here. As they are both Kawasaki-built in Japan, I have no details of their history or heritage. However, there is a nice video of these two BK117s on Helitreck's website , but I don't know if they are still trading. http://www.heliservi...ircraft/bk-117/ This livery is designed for the radome version. The png file leaves the wire cutters displayed, but hides the radome and bear paws. Just extract it to your xplane/aircraft/helicopters/bk117/liveries folder. This is the first to have the correct door handle signs, fuel cap logos and a new interior. Click here to download this file

BK117 livery A-4 CN 7137 UMASS - EXCLUSIVE TO X-PILOT.COM Repaint for Nils Danielsson's excellent payware MBB BK-117. Simply unzip the file "CN 7137 UMASS" into your xplane/aircraft/helicopters/bk117/liveries folder. This is the livery of N118LF c/n 7137, the 137th machine off the Donauworth production line in 1987. It used to be the EMS ship for UMASS Memorial Hospital, as seen here. In 2009 it was replaced by an EC-145, and transferred to Germany where it is now D-HIMU in the DRF fleet. Use with the NON-Radome version, bear paws are switched off. -

BK117 livery A-4 CN 7123 LifeAir 1 - EXCLUSIVE TO X-PILOT.COM Repaint for Nils Danielsson's excellent payware MBB BK-117. Simply unzip the file "CN 7123 LifeAir 1" into your xplane/aircraft/helicopters/bk117/liveries folder. This is the livery of N117SM c/n 7123, the 123rd machine off the Donauworth production line in 1987. It began life as Life Air One, based at Schumpert Medical Center, Shreveport, Louisiana from 1987-1993, in the livery represented here. In November 1993, Life Air Rescue was created by the merging of the Schumpert and Willis-Knighton air meds, and the aircraft was repainted as above. This aircraft was replaced by the now-familiar EC-135, and is now N117CH, the Atlanta Children's Healthcare helo. Use with the NON-Radome version, bear paws are switched off. -

BK117 livery A-4 CN 7123 LifeAir 2 - EXCLUSIVE TO X-PILOT.COM Repaint for Nils Danielsson's excellent payware MBB BK-117. Simply unzip the file "CN 7123 LifeAir 2" into your xplane/aircraft/helicopters/bk117/liveries folder.

On November 15, 1993, Life Air Rescue was created by the merging of Schumpert's Life Air One, and Willis-Knighton's Air Rescue, and the old Life Air 1 got a repaint in the colours they still use today. This aircraft operated from 1993 until 1997 in the livery you see here, when it was replaced by the now-familiar EC-135, and is now N117CH, the Atlanta Children's Healthcare helo.

BK117 B-1 CN 7057 D-HBNE This is the livery of D-HBNE c/n 7057, the 57th machine off the Donauworth production line in 1986. In November 1987 it was the project aircraft for the B-1 type certificate application from the German Aviation Authority (LBA) at Ottobrun. Afterwards it was yet another which became a factory demonstrator, exhibited at Farnborough on 4-11 September 1988 & 5-12 September 1990. For most of its life, HBNE has been an F1 Grand Prix VIP shuttle and corporate hospitality helicopter, operated by LGM Luftfahrt GmbH in Mannheim. It is currently the Arch 9 EMS ship, N990SL, for Litchfield, Illinois. Use with the Radome version, bear paws & cutters are switched off. Includes updated seats. -

File Name: Airwork 850D2 File Submitter: Nicola_M File Submitted: 04 Aug 2012 File Category: Helicopters X-Plane Version(s): X-Plane 9 & 10 Livery For: Click Here For Aircraft BK117 B-2/D-2 c/n 1089 ZK-HKZ, BK117-850D2 STC "Airwork" This is the livery of ZK-HKZ, construction number c/n 1089, (all Kawasaki-built BK117s had c/n's beginning with 1xxx), an important and unique machine in the BK117 timeline over the last thirty years. This particular machine was the testbed machine in 2009 for the Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) which was an evolutionary development of the BK117, carried out by Airwork in Ardmore, New Zealand. Fitted with the new Honeywell LTS101-850 turbines which gave the BK117 a large increase in performance and power, in both normal use and in OEI situations, this brought the BK117 up to date and made an already reliable and efficient machine even more so. As the BK117 C2 is the brand description used by Eurocopter & KHI for the EC-145 in the Australasian and Far East market, the designation BK117 D-2 marks that this is a true BK117, not an EC-145 derivative. This livery was used to promote the aircraft's development and this particular machine now serves as one of the Westpac fleet in New Zealand. I am grateful to Richard Pitt of Airwork, without whose assistance this livery would never have been made. UPDATE: 24 May 2011, Livery png now modified so that bear paws are now correctly omitted. For convenience you can load up the Radome or Non-Radome BK117 but it will be the same aircraft now with the bear paws deleted. Click here to download this file

File Name: CN 7007 D-HBUR File Submitter: Nicola_M File Submitted: 04 Aug 2012 File Category: Helicopters X-Plane Version(s): X-Plane 9 & 10 Livery For: Click Here For Aircraft BK117 C-1 CN 7007 D-HBUR This aircraft was the 7th machine off the Donauworth production line, and was immediately upgraded to B-1 status and registered as D-HBKI and then D-HXXL (http://forums.x-pilo...hp?topic=2294.0). It has had a chequered history, having been registered since in France and Mexico, before being leased into the SAR market in Italy. It got its unique paint scheme after Glasurit commissioned celebrated German painter/designer Walter Maurer in 2000 to come up with the design it now wears, which he named "Flying Colors." http://www.surfacefi...-Paints-to-0001 Interestingly, 7007 was the C-1 testbed, fitted with the new Turbomeca Arriel-1-E turbine on 6th April 1990, going on to icing tests in Vienna in February/March 1991, and high temperature testing in July 1991, the LBA C-1 Type Certification being awarded on the 20th October 1992. Updated 01Jun11 - added updated interior, bear paws removed. Updated 29Oct11 - corrected an error on the top and bottom edges of the inner fin surfaces. Click here to download this file

Although it is in a very plain paintscheme, I have included it because it is the only example I have found displaying the MBB Aerospace logo. Today it is one of the ADAC fleet.

It was test flown by chief-test pilot Siegfried Hoffmann and flight-test engineer Walter Sinn on 23rd April 1982 in Ottobrunn. For a time it was the factory demonstrator before changing ownership within Germany a number of times. Finally it was bought by Transportes Aéreos Pegaso in Mexico, where it remains in use today. Oddly, in addition to owning the first BK117 off the production line, Pegaso also bought the last BK117 made, XA-UBP c/n 7555 in 2004. They still own and operate both.
