FS2004 United Airlines Ford Trimotor

A repaint of the default Ford Trimotor in United Airlines livery. Textures only. By Ed Knapp.

Did the best I could with the limited research material available. Some of the markings are missing or placed differently than on the real plane. This is due to limitations in the textures.

description="Nicknamed the "Tin Goose," the Ford 4-AT Tri-Motor pioneered early airline and air transport routes. In 1925, the Ford Motor Company bought the Stout Metal Plane Company to gain rights to the Tri-Motor design. In all, 198 Ford Tri-Motors were built. During its years of regular service in the late 1920s and early 1930s, the Ford Tri-Motor helped popularize commercial flight and promote the safety of flying to travelers."

• Replace the 'x' where you see [fltsim.x] with the number this aircraft represents. If it is your third aircraft it would be [fltsim.3].
