Jim,
The US models are specific to each type, slight differences in fuselage, sensors and FOD covers etc, the 3H having enlarged sponsons for the MAD gear etc.
66 was in the original package at my insistence (and being as I made the models and painted them there wasn't much anyone could do about it LOL), on the side of the fuselage are three stickers of Apollo capsules, each sticker for each mission, the third one being the one which collected the first men who landed on the moon (Apollo 11), so the paint job represents that historic mission. 66 wasn't always used for Apollo missions, earlier missions used different aircraft, then 66 came along and the public and press grabbed it with a passion, from there on in 66 always picked up the astronauts, however it wasn't always the same airframe, there being a couple of imposter's in there somewhere, but there is one airframe that did the majority of 66 missions and that is indeed lost in deep water, as is the capsule Liberty Bell, both are the source of huge sponsorship and interest in the US to recover if possible. As an aside I was lucky enough late last year to see one of the last shuttle launches (last night launch I believe) and its left a long lasting impression, an Apollo launch must have just as dramatic !.
Hopefully theres enough specific different base models in the package to cover any repaints that people wish to do.
All of the old FS9 model repaints should still fit, simply recompile the textures as *.dds, that was one of the main stipulations in the revision.
It is the FS9 external model but full FSx compliant and a totally new VC model, much more detailed back there now.
The revision should be out soon, fixes all of the VC gauge and switch issues as well as some not yet noted by others.
Enjoy
Michael

Is the SH-3 a renamed S61?
SH-3A, SH-3D and SH-3H USN variants (or paint jobs) are included in the package.

EDIT: Just took these screen grabs from the Virtavia Website:
Someone want to make an Apollo Command Module for FSX then you can re-enact the Apollo splashdowns?
