===737-100 and 727-230 in CVS===
Emmanuel Baranger aka Helijah is making a wonderful model of a Boeing 737-100. It includes a 3d-cockpit, stairs, tyre-smoke and pushback. The original one was developed together with German Lufthansa AG. There were only 30 of them built. You can download the latest model here: [http://helijah.free.fr/flightgear/les-appareils/737-100/appareil.htm http://helijah.free.fr/flightgear/les-appareils/737-100/appareil.htm]
Heiko Schulz is making a model of the 727-230, another nice aircraft of the same decade like the 737-100. It is currently in developement, but already flyable in CVS. It will also include a 3d-cockpit, tyre-smoke and pushback. When the autopilot will be finished, the Sim-pilots have to fly here like in the old days: No GPS, no FMS, no Autothrottle! Time in which flying really was flying!
===Diamond D20 Katana===
Ron Jenson aka Jentron and Helijah made a wonderful model of the single-engine GA, which is produced in Austria/Europe and is already quite common there. It is using JSBsim as fdm and seems already quite realistic in its flight behaviour!
