Coming to a file library near you very soon, I've decided that these airplanes will make the perfect mini-pack, since my route builder doesn't seem to need them, or really want them.

It flew into the 1960's, and many are still in use today by private aircraft company's.

Really built it for the Riverland Lines route in the 60's, but I guess that Bob really doesn't want one or says he doesn't need one either.

Just imagine traveling from New York to Paris France in one of these, they could do it, but it would take a while longer. Defiantly wasn't the fastest thing around, compared to a modern jet the classic prop plane would be rather slow.

Maybe next I might again attempt to build a zeppelin.

Buffalo airways stuff uses them along with DC3's and other vintage birds.

A basic animation of the propellers spinning, can make the airplane look like they're running up the propellers for take off.

The run-up was when they ran the propellers to the max before take off to see if there were any problems, they don't have to do that with jets.

Redid the wording on the aircraft, next, to upgrade the other airplanes.

Got rid of the air and made it P. A Airways.

This is a huge improvement in texturing, John.

I've actually known for quite a while how to do it, the only problem is getting this junk computer to corroporate.

How does this look for a fiction logo, been working on a logo to go on the tail.
