FS2004 Qantas Douglas DC-3 VH-EDC

A repaint of the default DC3. Qantas VH-EDC was used in regional and domestic routes. Painted by Jacob Kubique.

Qantas VH-EDC was used immensely in regional and domestic routes in Australia. The Douglas DC-3 revolutionized air transportation and airline service during the 1930's and 1940's. It was a luxury airliner that boasted cabin heat and running water in its on-board lavatory. With the right balance of efficiency, range, speed, and payload, the DC-3 was the first aircraft to earn a profit for its owners just by carrying passengers. The hero of early airlines, a handful of DC-3's are still at work today.
