CN 7017 D-HBKS
By Nicola_M in Helicopters
BK117 livery CN 7017 D-HBKS - EXCLUSIVE TO X-PILOT.COM
Repaint for Nils Danielsson's excellent payware MBB BK-117.
Simply unzip the file "CN 7017 D-HBKS" into your xplane/aircraft/helicopters/bk117/liveries folder.
This is the livery of the 17th BK117 made, which was used for High Temperature Tests in Khartoum from May 1st-12th 1983. It is shown here in the factory paintscheme, in which it was displayed at the Farnborough Airshow from 2nd-9th September 1984.
Two years later it was the airframe used for Colani's Spaceship, which you can find in the livery pages.

COLANI'S SPACESHIP
By Nicola_M in Helicopters
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.

Scotrun BK
By Nicola_M in Helicopters
BK117 livery SCOTRUN BK117 - EXCLUSIVE TO X-PILOT.COM
Repaint for Nils Danielsson's excellent payware MBB BK-117.
Simply unzip the file "SCOTRUN BK" into your xplane/aircraft/helicopters/bk117/liveries folder.
***Use with Radome model.***
On route 611 in Scotrun, Pennsylvania, there is a roadside takeaway called Eats & Sweets. In the grounds there is a derelict BK117 which has been used as part of a children's swing. Sadly, there is nothing to identify the helicopter but this livery shows how it would have looked from new.
Of note is a small decal on its flank "Space Ship BK117." In the mid-80s MBB advertised the BK117 as the "Space Ship," ie the ship with plenty of interior space. Eurocopter inform me that such a decal was not an official item and was likely made by the US dealership in Westchester when the helicopter was sold.

CN 7057 N990SL ARCH
By Nicola_M in Helicopters
BK117 B-1 CN 7057 N990SL
This is the livery of N990SL c/n 7057, the 57th machine off the Donauworth production line in 1986 and currently the Arch 9 EMS ship, for Litchfield, Illinois.
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.

CN 7074 D-HBNV
By Nicola_M in Helicopters
BK117 livery A-3 CN 7074 D-HBNV - EXCLUSIVE TO X-PILOT.COM
Repaint for Nils Danielsson's excellent payware MBB BK-117.
Simply unzip the file "CN 7074 D-HBNV" into your xplane/aircraft/helicopters/bk117/liveries folder.
For best results, use with the winch supplied from the following link (install instructions in the comments pages): http://forums.x-plan...&showfile=16491
D-HBNV
Photographed at LSEZ Zermatt on 30 June 1988. Olympics were held in Seoul, South Korea from 17 Sept 88 to 2 Oct 88, so D-HBNV must have been in attendance. Of note, it was in the same colours and registration on 13th October 88, so it is likely it attended as a "guest" rather than an owner transfer. More probable is that MBB used the event as a public relations opportunity to show off the BK117, which would explain the Olympic rings on the livery.
The aircraft is now Christoph 1 of the ADAC fleet in Munich, Germany.
