Nice to see an updated NASARR model is coming! "Pinocchio" should be ready to go once it comes out.

Has anybody come up with a Plane Savers paint job for the MJ C-47?
Thank you

Having a problem locating the new German liveries. Will you please provide a link.

Finally, the first of the repaints with (slightly) updated models has been uploaded to the SOH library and should be available any time soon. It is CA+011, the German Air Force VIP Squadron version. Next to follow is the TACAN Calibrator 14+07 (hopefully next weekend).

A CAF unification era repaint and an update to an earlier upload are now in the library.

Superb!
What a sight, how many will they be in 25 years?
Who knows, probably more, they said that about Spitfire's, and there's more flying now than 25 years ago .What a sight, how many will they be in 25 years?
I mentioned in another thread that for the 1970 film of Catch-22 they had 17 flying B-25s. For the new mini series they managed 2. I'd have thought that new restorations would have increased the total, but apparently not.What a sight, how many will they be in 25 years?
Rats - why won't anything work properly first time?
Great watch and jealous of a co-worker's brother is over there helping with the CAF, I'd almost quit my job to be in the co-pilot seat in one of those planes on this day!

On the Warbird Information Exchange forum, I just recently began a count of the number of DC-3's (and all related types and modified versions) that are flying world-wide, and so-far my list, which I believe is quite "exhaustive", is up to 187 (two new flyers were just added today - C-FDTD and G-ANAF, which both flew today). Several of the South American and Thailand examples are guesses based on best available information (as to their statuses at this moment), and I'm still trying to get more information on any others I'm missing in South American and African countries (it would seem that a lot of those which had been operating within countries in those continents have been retired in recent years).
Douglas DC-3's (of all variants and modifications) flying:
Australia: 7 (VH-AES, VH-ABR, VH-AGU, VH-EAE, VH-EAF, VH-OVM, VH-TMQ)

Many thanks bomber!
I was wondering wether 'D Day Doll' was named after 6-6-44 but maybe not. Very fresh nose art then!
The "D-Day Doll" name is modern, though the airframe, like the rest that I have listed, is documented as having flown missions on D-Day.
BTW, I forgot to add a couple more to the list of D-Day vet surviving C-47's:
C-47 43-15211 N1944A (airworthy, but not flown in a while, owned by Kermit Weeks)
C-47 42-32832 "Sky King" N5106X (flying, owned by the Mid America Flight Museum)

Awesome to see this crew bring back to life another Dak!

Larry: it's fine with V 3.1406. Some fpm may get lost due to the increased 4096 texture size.
Ted: My hat is off to that incredible bunch of Plane Savers.
And, as promised, here is my second repaint for the C-47 in German Air Force colors. It is TACAN-Calibrator 14+07 of 4. FmL/VsuRgt 61 (Fernmelde Lehr- und Versuchsregiment; Radio Training and Research Regiment). It is former VIP transport CA+012 after it was transferred to its new unit. Again the aircraft comes with an updated model by Manfred Jahn, representing the German Air Force version and featuring and openable pilot side window (LH side only), two ADF loop and two ADF sense antennas and the TACAN antenna installed under the nose. Textures are in 4096 x 4096 resolution and contain stencils based on original artwork by B. Lechner via M. Jahn.

Next in line is the updated NASARR - currently still WIP on the textures!

Hi! Where do I find this one?
I would like a RAF, AAF and a Swedish Air Force Paratrooper version. Is it possible to temporarlly use Paratrooper panel and effects or make a copy of the swedish Daisy?
I would like to reconstruct her participation in the 75 year D-day parachuter drop over Normandie. She belonged also to the allied airforces airdrop in D-day 1944. After the war she was sold to SAS. Now she is based in Vaesteras/Hasslo at the museum belonging to "Flygande Veteraner". In Vaesterås there is good collection of airworthy treasures. And also some very authentic simulators from Airbus to Gripen JAS-39. I tried the old SAS sim which is connected to FSX as it originally was as an IFR-trainer. Probably the nearest to a real CV-440 along with the one in Lelystad, Holland.

Cool video especially the flight thru weather before flying the DC-3.
