Presenting the PMDG 737-700 in the iconic smiling livery of Pacific Southwest Airlines. This livery adorned PSA 737-200s during the 1960s and 70s.
To install, use the PMDG Operations Centre and Install from .ptp file under livery utilities.
Note: I realised quite late that a version of this for the split winglet model with the registration N381PS is available already in the PMDG Operations Centre. Mine is a little more based on the original with the bare metal engines and black nose and has some extra weatehring effects.
Thanks for doing it!

Absolutely gorgeous work as always! I also requested this livery, and I was beyond thrilled when I got the message it was going to be a Paddy project because they never EVER disappoint. Just a few questions for anybody who may know: Beside their famous smile, I am only really aware of PSA from their two major accidents around the 1980s. One was a BEA 146 and the other a 727, both had a similar livery but did not contain the color pink. I have seen the pink livery offered in sim, but never on an actual plane. Was the pink one an earlier version? I also know they named their planes, the hijacked 146 was called the "Smile of Stockton". Does anybody know if the names of the individual planes were visible on their livery like with some other airlines?

Thanks for the kind support as always. As for your two questions, the pink in the livery was phased out around 1978 as far as I can tell. The 737s were all retired by then, but a quick look through the history of their 727 fleet (which lasted into the 80s) shows them changing around that time.
As for the "Smile of..." naming convention, this also appears to be a later phenomenon. As far as I can tell, sometimes the name would appear on the plane. For the 146 it would be under the port side flight deck windows, but this doesn't seem to be consistent.
