It is not disabled for me. I purchased the Aviator Edition upgrade once the Marketplace went live, never even opened the My Library dialogue, let alone made any changes - the Skyvan was available to me by default. I found it in the same defective state as others have since at least 15th December of 2024, maybe earlier (see comments in the forum).

Regardless of that, this bug report is nevertheless valid until the issues are resolved.
