Few interesting JAT facts:
JAT – Yugoslav Airlines had a reputation for excellence and glamour. Its fleet of, among others, Caravelles, B-727, B-707, DC-9, DC-10 and new Boeing 737-300s (the first models purchased in Europe) transported some five million passengers a year to destinations on five different continents.
*** 1923 - First night flight in the history of air travel.
Even before the golden era of Yugoslav air travel, the region had a reputation for excellence in aviation.
Tiny Pančevo airport, just outside of Belgrade, inaugurated the first night flight in the history of air travel.
The flight flew to Bucharest and was launched because it was believed that the only way to beat the
Orient Express was to fly by night.
*** 1967 - JAT stewardesses won fashion competitions in Paris for the elegance of their uniforms, and the airline’s in-flight meals were considered so superior to those of other carriers that the company took over catering for Air France, among others.
*** 26 January 1972 - a bomb explosion onboard a DC-9 international JAT flight 367 (YU-AHT) above Czechoslovakia, where 27 passengers and crew members tragically lost their lives as a result of it.
Miraculously enough only flight attendant Vesna Vulović survived the fall from 10 000 meters. Former JAT flight attendant, Vesna Vulović, holds the world record in surviving the highest free fall with no parachute, when she fell from 10,160 meters (33,330 feet) after the aircraft she was on, was destroyed by a bomb.
*** 10 November 1974 - a JAT Boeing 707-321 (YU-AGA) flew around the world.
The flight took 19 days to complete, flying: Belgrade - Beirut - Bombay - Singapore - Tokyo - Honolulu - Los Angeles – New York - London - Belgrade.
*** 13 February 1978 - a first boy was born on commercial passanger flight in a Boeing 707 (YU-AGI) at JAT flight Belgrade - Sydney. The boy was named "Jatko".
*** 16 February 1979 - the first-ever picture auction in world aviation history is held in JAT DC-10 (YU-AMA) on a scheduled Belgrade - Zagreb - New York flight.
*** 08. August 1985 - JAT was the first operator of the Boeing 737-300 aircraft in Europe.
First JAT B-737-300 YU-AND (grounded since February 2020) arrived at the Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport.
YU-ANI was the 4th Boeing 737-300 in JAT Fleet delivered on 17 December 1985.
During those years, the company carried five million passengers annually and served 80 destinations on five continents (19 domestic, 45 medium-haul and 16 long haul routes). JAT also constructed a large hangar to accommodate wide-body aircraft and a jet-engine test stand at their Belgrade hub. The same year, Bombay and Calcutta were connected with Belgrade.
*** JAT was to become the first operator of the McDonnell Douglas MD-11 aircraft. However, due to the break-up of Yugoslavia and the imposition of sanctions on Serbia, the aircraft were never delivered.
*** 16. December 2020 – JAT Boeing 737-300 YU-ANI holds the record for being the oldest passenger Boeing 737 series 300 still in regular, passenger service. 35 years old – respect.

Poštovani,
Nažalost livery za A320 vanila i B787 nisu u planu, te neće biti izrađeni s moje strane
Livery za B747 možda u nekoj daljnjoj budućnosti, kada uhvatim vremena.
Hvala na razumijevanju. Ugodan let.

Hi, looking at the pictures it looks amazing! Would you consider to make it available for the asobo A320 also ( I don;t use the FBW) I am not sure how difficult it is but also for the Aerosoft CRJ series- I think it would look really nice (like the JAT 727, DC9-s in the '80s... 😊 Thanks
mafx author
Hi there, thanks for comment. I am not attending to launch non-fbw a32nx version, as JAT retro pack will not have all advanteges in standard a320 version. Please use FBW A32NX version as it is free and has much much better flying performances and so many advantages (from cups and flypad till many more operational functionality).
Later in winter I hope that I catch some time to make JAT DC-6 livery first. CRJ is not in a plan at this moment. Thank You for understanding. Have a pleasent flight.

Hvala lepa for this wonderful work an bringing me back to seventies.
So much detail in your work. Keep up this great work.

Dear Migimuf,
Thank You for nice comment.
It seams that lots of us are somehow emotionally connected to JAT through our childhood 🎈. I am nicely suprised how people leave comments on this retro pack. Almost every comment has some emmotions or expressed memories 😁 . Magnificent.
Enjoy flying, maybe we will meet somewhere in virtual sky… thank you.
P.s. Latest update 5, messed my customized JAT thumbnails and I will adjust them somewhere in autumn…

Superb work! I have always been impressed by the high quality liveries on this site. Nearly all are labors of love for the author and their pride of ownership is clear in their work. Even with all the high quality competition, your work stands out. Your work stands head & shoulders among the rest. You are an artist my friend! Thank you for sharing and please keep up the amazing work. Can't wait to see your next project.

Dear Mr. Cosmos, Thank You for wonderful review. I am very glad that You liked my work. More I am glad that there are people like You and others who find time and write some good or bad review. Its not about the "glory" or popularity of livery, its very nice when people recognize someone's effort and work, and only one word is kind action, feedback and note that work is making someone happy. In my case, I was somehow connected with JAT (original) as a kid, and was waiting for JAT livery to show up, but.... finally, I took some time to learn "msfs livery procedure" and made this, for myself and for all other pilots. Happy to see that people enjoy it... If I find time, I want to do B-747 fictional JAT retro livery... if I find time... Thank You once again and ... happy flying.... P.S. Airport 1975.... :) reminded me when I was watching that movie in a "state of the art Stereo Cinema" .... with my grandfather... I was 8 or 9 years old :)

Congratulations. An excellent job. It is a joy to fly with these liveries and with these interiors. I hope you will do other similar jobs.
mafx author
Thank You for nice msg. I am always glad when people enjoy it. I was somehow emotionally connected with JAT as a kid, so my initial plan was to make JAT livery only. In a future, maybe some fictional JAT B-747 or CRJ livery will be my next work.... thanks again. enjoy your flying adventures...

Hvala Vama na super komentaru. Drago mi je da ima jos pilota kojima se sviđa JAT. Mozda je nasim generacijama 60tih-70tih JAT livery malo pobudio sjećanja na djetinjstvo... Uzivajte u letu.

Best of the best thank you, i am feeling over 30 years younger now. Stunning job, also added historic materials and so many wonderful extras to choose from. Hvala, ostao sam bez riječi - stvarno top quality, a sada tura sa JAT ... dan mladosti stiže 😊 , nekada bilo bratstvo i jedinstvo. Hvala još jednom.

Bratstvo i jedinstvo.... tako je trebalo i ostati, ali na srecu imamo msfs, bez politike i ostalih gluposti.... drago mi je da sam uspio ugurati fotografiju pionirki u kokpit, bas u spomen dana mladosti... ipak je livery iz zlatnog doba yu...

Sjajno, hvala za retro JAT boje! 😍
Bilo bi lepo videti ih na nebu u modernom okruzenju i u realnosti

Nema na čemu. Bio mi je užitak raditi JAT livery. Kao klincu JAT avioni su mi bili vrh vrhova. Malo sam istraživao JAT dok sam radio livery i iznenađen sam koliko je to bila moćna i kvalitetna kompanija.... U livery paketu sam postavio nekoliko meni interesantnih članaka (pdf), ako želite znati više.... Hvala Vama. Ugodan let 👍
