AEB&W, owned by Annitah Babii, is an SL Marketplace based merchant that sells mostly Military jets. An anonymous tip lead us to the believe that these planes had been taken out of a game called Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X, a video game created by Ubisoft.
Here's a list of our findings:
The product: AEB&W LTV A-7 Corsair II

You will notice on the vendor picture that under the cockpit is the name "W.T.PATTON". This name is only used on official H.A.W.X aircraft and is a spoof name used for the pilot. You will find this on many H.A.W.X aircraft.
Let's start with a proper texture comparison.

The UV map and texture quality are an uncontested match. It looks like AEB's texture has been lightened and sharpened in a photo editing program.
We could put the template texture that was supplied by AEB&W from Second Life, and assign it on the official H.A.W.X. model in our 3D program. This is defiantly the same texture.

After viewing these wire frame comparisons, it is very clear that the body (not including landing gear and weapons) has been taken straight out of Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. The only original content in this aircraft is the recolored default livery that comes standard with the plane.
