Developed as a replacement for both the KC-135 Stratotanker and KC-10 Extender in U.S. Air Force service, the KC-46A Pegasus program has been a trouble-filled, expensive mess. However, the aircraft has finally entered operational service. Japan is the first foreign customer for the aircraft, placing an initial order in 2015. Currently, four aircraft are funded, with two having been built. This decal provides the markings for the first two aircraft.

Piedmont 767-200ERs Released
North Carolina-based Piedmont Airlines was known as the “Up and Coming Airline” for its growth from a small regional carrier to one of the United States’ majors (revenue greater than $1 billion) in a few short years following deregulation. As part of its expansion in the 1980s, Piedmont ordered a small fleet of 767-200ERs to begin trans-Atlantic service, beginning with London. Five aircraft were delivered in this scheme and named, with the final frame delivered in a bare metal hybrid scheme in anticipation of the USAir merger (see DRAW Decal Set 767-29). This decal provides the full-colors markings for any of the six aircraft in the fleet, prior to the 1989 merger with USAir.
