By Grant Millikan (and the ROTW group), 50th anniversary update by Leen de Jager (ROTW)

for Fly! II

Grant who had already shown his talents with his PA28 repaints, brings us a military version of the TBM700, the one flown by Nicolas and Bruno, our test pilots : the "ABT-156" of the Escadrille Avions de l'Armée de Terre (EAAT) based in Rennes St Jacques (French Britanny).
The repaint includes a new livery, a new grey interior as well as two pilots in flightsuits. Even the registration number on the panel has been updated.

New: Since the beginning of 2004, year of the 50th anniversery of the ALAT, (l'Aviation Légère de l'Armée de Terre), all the EAAT planes received a name starting by the last letter of their registration, letter which is also taken from the first letter of a town, region or country where their planes have landed. This is why the TBM700, with the registration FMABT, is now named TANGER.

Thanks to recent pictures taken by our military friends, Leen has been able to update and improve some details of the livery and the visual model (i.e. the exhaust).
Enjoy !
