As for the others .... it's a matter of them first appealing to one of our members with the ability and desire to want to do these

Any way we could have the other liveries represented too?

After all Bannif, American, Aermomexio,Southeast (especially) etc all have multiple liveries, spirit only has that one and one model.

Would love to see more classic spirit liveries just like classic Southeast airlines, which ironically is lesser known and defunct lol. Just saying in general I'm surprised you say its represented when it really isn't, especially by that standards your group has set which I admire greatly. I think it would be if possible fitting to add those historical mainline liveries, after all is that not what HJG is all about? Representing the best of the classic circa era in aviation?

Anyways, really hope to hopefully be able fly your models with more Spirit Paint Schemes

I thought it'd be obvious (otherwise i'd have re-phrased), but, when I stated it was "represented" I was referring only to the MD82 .... and in the displayed definitive and hybrid liveries featuring SPIRIT AIRLINES aircraft .... but .... nothing else

After all Bannif, American, Aermomexio,Southeast (especially) etc all have multiple liveries, spirit only has that one and one model

YEAH

.... but .... what folk need to bear in mind here is ....

Although we have a Repaint Requests forum page .... whatever's requested still has to "APPEAL" to someome with the ability to do it, to want to do it, in order for it/anything to ever get done.

SURE

.... those other airlines may be represented by variations of their liveries .... but again .... that's only because they "appealed" to the artist/s responsible (usually for ethnic or other personal reasons) .... and which is what makes the difference.

Technically speaking .... although we have a Repaint Requests forum page the group doesn't, necessarily, paint according to request/demand, but rather, uses it more as an indicator of peoples inclinations.

Not saying it/they won't get done.

All I'm saying is ....

"It's up to the individual artists" whether or not they want to do it/anything .... simply because they've got to be able to enjoy, or have an interest in, whatever they do, otherwise it (regrettably) risks becoming an imposition upon them.

See what happens in the future, but, no promises.

Other than that .... your expression of appreciation for the standards set by this group "IS" appreciated .... "THANKS"

Totally understandable Mark, that's why I usually suggest and not request liveries, it all depends if someone is interested in making those liveries. It's always a nice addition to the HJG hangar but it has to be also an enjoyable work for the member making those liveries !

Keep the good job guys by the way !

I Agree with math 100%

Wish I had the skills and program software to do it myself and such.

Though it would be great to at least see one other plane with a Spirit livery, even if just the model that already has one.

Over all though I was just mostly surprised that Southeast airlines/Sun jet which isn't as known got more liveries on more planes then Spirit. Understandably it has to be in the interest of the painters though it was just surprising none the less at least coming in with the mind set of promoting historical planes and their liveries, especially of major carriers. Grant it Spirit only became a major carrier in the mid 00s.

Over all regardless it is a pleasure flying HJG planes or using them as AI to create really historical looking airports or retro airshows at Sun in fun and oshkosh airports
