I am looking for some information on the extra fuel tank that was installed on that SAAB Safir that did the long distance ferry flight from Sweden to Ethiopia, specifically I am looking for the fuel quantity on the tank. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!

Juergen,

Go ahead and publish them. I did not do my paint from scratch so I won't claim any kind of copyright. Your repaint looks nice, so let's get it airborne!

Same here, I received the same email and clicked on the link, only to end up in a post that didn't exist... I'd be honored to be part of the beta testing team, as the email said.

Very nice, I like the final product!!

I checked out the whole package at Lionheart and bought it, truly excellent! The Bücker is the nicest in that pack, and I can't wait to fly its missions!

Happy birthday Andrey, and thanks for sharing your hobby and skills with us!!

Thanks Alex. I've had hit and mix reactions from Lionhartcreations. I bought their Socata birds and I love them, but their Quest Kodiak leaves a lot to desire. But the Bucker looks excellent!

Where can we get a copy of the Bucker?

Kofi, if you'd like I can go up in the air on the net with you, just PM me and we can set something up!!

Thanks! I downloaded FISD's wonderful Finnish sceneries and went on a flight, what a difference!

here is me on final to land at EFRO (Rovaniemi):

Where can I find that freeware Finland scenery? The other day I was flying around Finland but it was all tress everywhere...

Hakan,

Awesome stuff, great information and a bit of Safir's history.

Thanks for sharing!

Now the confusion surfaces... I am dealing with the same aircraft but with different markings. That makes sense.

On top of that, it seems that the F5-85 is the newest version of this aircraft... maybe it will be another repaint in the works...?

Tack så hemskt mycket!

I am a little curious about fuselage markings on Sweish Air Force Safirs, my curiosity sparked by pictures of Safirs at airliners.net. I am doing a repaint of 50085 6/75, and I thought that 50085 was the aircraft serial number, while 6/75 was the unit. However I found another Safir with the number 5...

Hakan,

Thanks for the link, that will come in useful when I convert it to a C model.

But isn't it a 91B in the shots, with fuselage tank and all ? :wink: Indded it is a B model, I was wondering how long it would take for someone to spot that... I worked it our of a B repaint, and one of the things I have to do before uploading is converting it to C model and installing it to a C ve...

My latest repaint, almost ready, is SAAB 91C Safir 50085 / 75: http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j228/carioca74/safir/50085/SAABSafir500852.jpg http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j228/carioca74/safir/50085/SAABSafir500854.jpg http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j228/carioca74/safir/50085/SAABSafir50085...

Hakan, nice red repaint, it looks racy! I'd love to take it for a spin.
