Love the little SAS Mad Dog in the background,

Bonus photos of the aircraft being loaded in BRU (Both in the old ex-El Al scheme and the new one here),

Extra bonus tails and cockpit photo,

Why should this airline be added?
Nothing particularly historical regarding this airline (Nothing really at all, internet is a bit bare bar the accident) but it was a South African cargo airline which operated flights from Johannesburg, via Lagos, to Europe, mainly BRU and Ostend in Belgium. It did this for 3 years between 2000 and 2003 with an ex El Al combi 747-200 until it landed hard at Lagos and was damaged beyond repair so was scrapped there in 2008ish. Would be a cool airline to have in-game for another nifty 747 classic freighter. Even though this was a combi, it was never used for passenger operations so would be cool if it was a regular freighter 742.
Someone made a music video with a photo of this plane crashed?

This would be a really special livery if added. My Dad flew this aircraft as a flight engineer. I was even lucky enough to join him on one of his flights.

If any of the developers manage to see this livery, I really hope they can take it into consideration even if it was only on one aircraft.

That’s awesome, it’s ace to have a personal connection to something like this. Did he inspire you to follow a similar career path?

And I agree, I hope they will, especially for yourself
