Interesting note on the Evergreen 747-200s. I had the oppurtunity to talk to an Evergreen crew at Kuwait Intl while we were fueling up and waiting for better weather at Ali Al Salem. Cool jet, but one of the pilots said that Evergreen sold the gyros for the autopilot to make some money. This in turned allowed the crews to only fly non-precision A/P coupled approaches. They could hand fly an ILS, but not with the A/P. So, the jets were later remodded to allow the crews to fly precision A/P coupled approaches (but only Cat I I think). Overall, I guess Evergreen has messed up the jets. There were some other quirks with the autopilot that were mentioned (don't remember details).

So where is this great looking 747 available? You mentioned POSKY. Is it there, or not released yet?

The Evergreen repaint has not yet been released. It will be on AVSIM when it is.
