Why autocredit isn’t working again? Why?!

Credit to: Annedzsrue for the Boeing 727-200.

NOTE: Please do not take this plane as an insult. At no time is this intended to offend the relatives of the passengers on this flight.

My most detailed airliner so far!

I worked very hard on this livery…

And it has a reworked cockpit!! It can be considered my first airplane with cockpit! but I only changed the indicators, added fire suppression and some texts and I made the yokes able to tilt more. But all the credits for the original cabin belong to Annedzsrue.

I hope you enjoy!

Important Information ( Wikipedia )

Mexicana de Aviación Flight 940, operated by Mexicana de Aviación, was a scheduled international flight from Mexico City to Los Angeles with stopovers in Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlán on March 31, 1986, utilizing a Boeing 727-200 registered as XA-MEM,[1][2] when the plane crashed into El Carbón, a mountain in the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range northwest of Mexico City, killing everyone on board.[1][3] With 167 deaths, the crash of Flight 940 is the deadliest aviation disaster ever on Mexican soil, and the deadliest involving a Boeing 727.

The aircraft involved was delivered to Mexicana in 1981[5] and was named "Veracruz". The plane was commanded by Captain Carlos Alberto Guadarrama Sixtos, who joined Mexicana in December 1971, clocked a number of 6,328 hours of total flying experience. The first officer was Philip Louis Piaget Rhorer, hired by Mexicana in April 1980, he had a little over 1,769 total flying hours. And the second officer, Ángel Carlos Peñasco Espinoza, was hired by Mexicana in 1982, and had a total of 1,142 total flying hours.[1] The crew of eight included five flight attendants. The wife of Captain Guadarrama, who was a retired flight attendant, and Guadarrama's son and daughter were also among the 159 passengers on board.[6] At 08:50 local time, the plane took off from Benito Juárez International Airport en route to Los Angeles International Airport with scheduled stopovers in Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlán.[7] The plane carried 147 passengers (139 passengers and 8 crew members) from Mexico, 8 from France, 6 from the United States, 4 from Sweden, and 2 from Canada.[8]

At 09:05, fifteen minutes after takeoff, an explosion rocked the fuselage.

Captain Guadarrama and the crew in the cockpit, realizing that the plane was shaking too much, declared an emergency and asked to return to Benito Juárez International Airport.[9] The airport was prepared for an emergency landing. However, the aircraft crashed into El Carbón mountain near the town of Maravatío, Michoacán, broke in two and burst into flames.[9] All 167 passengers and crew were killed upon impact.[3] Among the dead were two film scouts for the horror film Predator. Eyewitnesses reported details of the crash to authorities. The local police and the Mexican army were dispatched to the crash site.[10]
