I decided to make a livery of TAROM. I also used custom 3 part windows and
this is YR-LCC, the aircraft involved in Tarom flight 371

About the aircraft (Source:Wikipedia)

First flown on 8 July 1985, the -300 is dimensionally identical to the -200,
although it provides an increased Maximum Take-Off Weight (MTOW) and an
increase in range, provided by additional centre and horizontal stabiliser
(trim-tank) fuel tanks. This model also introduced wingtip fences to improve
aerodynamic efficiency, a feature that has since been retrofitted to some -200s.
The aircraft entered service in 1986 with Swissair. The A310-300 incorporates a
computerised fuel distribution system which allows it to be trimmed in flight,
optimising the centre of gravity by shuttling up to 5,000 kg (11,000 lb) of fuel
in and out of the horizontal stabiliser tank, controlled by the Centre of Gravity
Control Computer.

About TAROM:

TAROM (Romanian pronunciation: [ta'rom]; legally Compania Nationala de
Transporturi Aeriene Romane TAROM S.A.) is the flag carrier and oldest
currently operating airline of Romania, based in Otopeni near Bucharest.
Its headquarters and its main hub are at Henri Coanda International Airport.
It is currently the first and largest airline operating in Romania based on
international destinations, international flights and the third-largest measured
by fleet size and passengers carried. The brand name is an acronym for
Romanian: Transporturile Aeriene Române (Romanian Air Transport). Over
ninety-seven percent (97.22%) of TAROM is owned by the Romanian Government
(Ministry of Transport). The airline transported almost 2.75 million
passengers in 2018, with an average load factor of 74%. The airline
joined SkyTeam on 25 June 201

Flight 371:

TAROM Flight 371 was a scheduled international passenger flight,
with an Airbus A310 from Otopeni International Airport in Romania's
capital Bucharest to Brussels Airport in Brussels, Belgium. The flight
was operated by TAROM, the flag carrier of Romania. On 31 March 1995,
the Airbus A310-324, registered as YR-LCC, entered a nose-down dive
after takeoff and crashed near Balote?ti in Romania. All 60 people
aboard were killed in the crash.

Investigation of the crash revealed that a faulty auto-throttle
reduced the left engine to idle during climb. While this was happening,
the captain became incapacitated, leaving the first officer unable to
respond properly to the failure as he spent most of his flying career
flying Soviet-built planes with a different style Attitude Direction
Indicator than on the A310. The crash was the deadliest plane crash
in Romania's history. It was also the deadliest plane crash in TAROM's
operational history.
