Aerodrom Slovenj Gradec (LJSG) from Slovenia used this Cessna 172 built 1970 for their sightseeings and flight teaching. It has simple livery in light blue color and registration Sierra Five - Delta Mike Zulu. I flew with it two or three times some 20 years ago. After exile of Aeroclub Slovenj Gradec from their home airport, I lost trace of this bird.
This livery is tribute to my uncle, Vladimir Švarc, aeronautical inspirator and pilot. He died at the begining of September, age 70. He flew many planes, among them was that C172 S5-DBZ, registred to Aerodrom Slovenj Gradec. He wanted to become a pilot and he fulfiled his dreams in the beginning of 90s. When I was only 7 years old, he gave me first plastic model to build and put plane bug in me. He took me to first flight when he just got his pilot licence. He allowed me to fly C172 for real not just in simulators. In last years he found new love - sailing boats. He will be missed and remembered.
When I built first beta livery, I got shivers down my spine, remembering that aeroplane. Then I put plane to the same spot I got photo of my uncle and ... for the first time since his death I really crushed and started to cry. Nevertheless, after almost a year I built another livery and many more to come. So i took this S5-DBZ to renew my Blender knowledge. Will fix some bugs in near future - spinner shouldn't be in metalic color. Thank you to you all for greatest community of fliers.
