Notes
This livery is a labor of love for me, and hopefully exciting for those who remember this epic, first-class oriented airline. My mother was a Midwest Express flight attendant when I was a child, and this was the first airline I was lucky to fly on. While this livery is fictional, it's the closest current aircraft released for MSFS to the original Midwest Express fleet. I plan to apply this livery to future aircraft in the works, like the McDonnell Douglas DC series and Boeing 717-200. To this day, I can still remember their fresh cookies and hope you enjoy "The Best Care in the Air" as much as I did and now can once again 🍪
Features
High quality, 8K fictional livery based closely on Midwest Express' original livery, along with correct callsign, ICAO, parking codes, and with an AI Traffic variant to show in game for you. No need to customize ATC defaults before flying.
Installation
To Install the livery, simply extract the ZIP's contents into your community folder.

I spent many hours on YX planes growing up in MKE, and this brings back so many great memories. Can't wait to see the final Midwest Airlines livery versions!

So good to hear! After finishing what I can do for now with fake Southwest liveries (until PMDG releases the 737), I figured this would be a fun next step. I knew this would be a little bit of a niche, but well loved livery set to start working on.
I will say, this one was a bit of a pain to research - there's little to no high res images (and no vectors) of the old express logo, so this was very hand-crafted with love :)
I just started the newest/final version of the Midwest Express livery line for the CRJs today so we'll see if I crank it out by early next week.
Fingers crossed for some MD80+ models to come out soon, or at least the B717 - would love to have these be realistic on the right aircraft. Enjoy!

Yes! I miss the cookie. I’m happy to see you’ll be doing the other liveries as well. Are you also planning on placing these liveries on the CRJ-1000 once it’s released? That’ll be even closer to the 717. Great work!

Thanks for the love - I miss those cookies as well haha. As a stewardess, my mother got to bring home all of the extras every flight which ended up being at least a gallon size ziplock of them 😂
I do plan on hitting any aircraft that look similar to their fleet, so the CRJ 1000 will be in there! I believe a 717-200 is in the works by someone, and I know a few of the McDonald Douglass models will be released at some point, so stay tuned!
