Cambodia Airlines 727

[Nathan Ford - HJG]

Hi everyone, I hope you have all had a fabulously Christmas and a joyeux new year.

I am in the process of reinstalling FS9 with an all retro ai to almost exclusively use HJG aircraft on. While researching, I came across a Cambodian/Delta hybrid, that I have never seen before.

Is there any chance that someone may be interested in doing a repaint of it? I have Kai Tak setup in the sim and it would be interesting to fly the checkerboard in a 727.

I understand everyone, myself included has a lot on at the moment, so if it’s not a good time, I understand, but I’m hoping that at least it may satisfy someone’s curiosity.

Hope you are all well,

Cheers,

Nathan.

It's livery certainly give's it away .... JIM AIRLINES/"DELTA" !!!!

Sad what happened to their country during the 70's .... which I incidentally can identify with personally having been active within the Kampuchean/Cambodian community during the 80's .... another life for me albeit a very long time ago.

Yes, a very dark part of history to a people who are so beautiful and kind.

Historically the ancient Kymer's could be, and were, "pretty bloody violent/brutal" .... and that was certainly reflected in what Pol POTTS regime did during the 70's.

As you say though .... most I met, and became associated with during the 80's, were nice people (over several years I even learned to speak Kymer .... not enough to sustain a conversation, but, certainly got a good grip on "the basics" and most of which I've not forgotten to this day) .... although I did also see, and experience, a bit of PTSD among them too .... hardly surprising though considering what the Kymer Rouge put them through and that, during the early 80's, was still only too fresh in some of their minds.
