MAAM Douglas DC-3 Scottish Airlines Textures.
Scottish Airlines was formed in 1946 as the airline division
of Prestwick based Scottish Aviation. The airline operated scheduled
services within the UK along with charter work on a world wide
basis. The backbone of their fleet in the immediate post war
years was a dozen or so Douglas C47 Dakotas with long haul work
being carried out by 5 Consolidated Liberator II & III transports.
By 1958, the fleet was reduced to just one C47B (G-AMPP), this
aircraft maintained the summer Prestwick to Isle of Man service
and earned revenue during the winter with whatever charter work
could be found. Due to her varied work routines and her pronouncable
registration letters she was affectionately known by the airline
staff as "G-AMPP the Tramp". These are textures for

Simulations (MAAM-SIM) at www.maam.org

Abacus Lockheed VC-121A Constellation "Columbine II"
Textures. The Lockheed C-121A Constellation is the military
transport version of the L-749A Constellation. Delivered on
22 November 1948, this particular aircraft was soon converted
to VC-121A VIP-transport. From November 1952 till November 1954
this was the personal transport of President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
In 1952, President Eisenhower was flying to Florida. The Presidential
plane was named 'Columbine II' (after the official flower of
Colorado, the First Lady’s home state), but it was identified
to flight controllers as “Air Force 610” (from its
tail number 48-610). However, flying in the same general region
was Eastern Airlines Flight 610.The Eastern Airlines pilot overheard
a conversation between flight controllers and the President’s
plane, and for a moment thought the references to flight “610”
were meant for him. Although nothing untoward happened, the
government realized that the confusion could have been tragic.
Since then, any Air Force aircraft with the President on board
has been referred to as “Air Force One.” Thus, the
'Columbine II' was the first aircraft to be distinguished with
this designation, and she served President Eisenhower for several
years in this role. by Maarten Brouwer. 3.5MB

Abacus Lockheed L-749A Constellation TWA 1958 Textures.
In June 1939 TWA (Transcontinental & Western Air) required
a four-engined airliner capable of flying transcontinental US
services non stop west to east or with one stop travelling in
the opposite direction against the prevailing wind. The specification
was drawn up by TWA's major shareholder Howard Hughes and TWA-director
Jack Frye. The intial result was the L-49 Constellation, but
before the first aircraft was built WWII broke out and the Connie
was drafted by the militaries as C-69. After the war the C-69
was renamed L-049 Constellation and delivered to a.o. TWA (27).
The L-649 and L-749 Constellations were the first true civil
versions. TWA used 12 L-749's and 28 L-749A's from March 1948
till 1967. This particular L-749A, N6001C 'Star of New Jersey',
flew with TWA from 24 March 1950 till September 1966. It was
scrapped in 1968. These are textures only. You will require

KLM was a major European operator of various models of the Lockheed
Constellation and Super Constellation. Out of 48 Connies and
Super Connies, 13 were L-749 (8 of them later converted to L-749A)
and 9 were L-749A Constellations. The first L-749 entered service
with KLM in August 1947, and for some 13 years this and the
other L-749(A) Connies served on various medium- and long-haul
routes. PH-LDE 'Utrecht' served with KLM from 26 July 1950 till
3 March 1960, after which she was stored for almost 3 years
before being sold. These are textures only. You will require

an L-749, PH-LDT 'Tilburg' served with KLM from 1 October 1947
till November 1959. After conversion into a freighter, the Connie
soon stayed idle and was cocooned till July 1964, when at last
she was sold to the USA. From then on she was owned by numerous
firms, often rather obscure until, in 1982, she finally ended
up as a museum piece at the Science Museum in Wroughton, England,
UK. There she has been restored for static display in an attractive
TWA livery. These are textures only. You will require Francisco

Carenado Beech Bonanza V35B Adolf Galland "The Fat One"
Textures.
Repaint of Adolf Galland's personal Beech Bonanza V35B. The
former Luftwaffe Fighter General bought this aircraft in 1960
and flew it several years, affectionately nicknaming it "The
Fat One". Being not sure of the colors, having only white
and black pictures of this aircraft, I decided to depict it
into a Brown/Gold scheme which fits the Bonanza quite well.
