Livery Details
The Swiss livery for the MD-11

Rocketing back to Zurich out of LA,
On rotation out of Zurich for LAX,
This is an A321-100, but I’ve included it for a good view of the Swiss logo that was also on the MD,
Leaving the above here but I’ve got a photo of the MD-11 nose,
Why should this livery be added?
In 2002, Swissair went bust, but not before all its assets were transferred to regional subsidiary Crossair, which renamed itself to Swiss International Air Lines. This new airline, later called just Swiss, acquired all 14 of Swissair’s MD-11s and utilised them on long haul routes until finally retired in 2004, being replaced by A340-300s and then the A330-300s delivered in 2009. This livery would be yet another passenger MD-11 livery which would be brilliant to have in-game as a regular contract. I’m also really glad that Swiss operated this for a short time as I was not willing to do another airline after VASP and Sabena took me 1 1/2 hours to compile, just for the MD-11s.
Edit: Added some bonus photos now Zurich is on the way. The airport was MD-11 heaven in the late 1990s/early 2000s and it’d be fab to see that represented in the new airport beginning with the iconic beasts.
