FS2004 Northeast Airlines Douglas DC-6B

Northeast Airlines’ circa-1965 Douglas DC-6B livery brings classic piston-era U.S. airline styling to the Gmax DC-6B, with accurate markings and period-correct textures for authentic ramp and enroute screenshots. Designed for FS2004, it requires the Tom Gibson and Greg Pepper DC-6B base aircraft and includes matching registration and airline identifiers.
