Born in 1946 as many other airlines of that time - with WWII C-47/DC-3's - Real Transportes Aereos started flying between S.Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. In 1950 with a fleet of 25 DC-3's Real flew to 30 cities in five states of Brazil.

With a policy of low fares, Real quickly grew in the Brazilian market and started to acquire other companies and their national and international lines. In this way Wright, Transcontinental, Aerovias-Brasil and Nacional were incorporated in the Real consortium. By 1956 Real flew to all Brazilian states, South America and the USA, and at the end of the decade Real's fleet had reached a total of 100 airplanes. During its meteoric career, REAL became, in terms of passengers carried annually, one of the ten leading airliners in the world, carrying upwards of two million at the time of Nacional merger.

This original model of this aircraft reflects a C-46A with cargo configuration. So we regret to inform all passengers that we don't have seats available at the moment!

In order to reduce the size of the files and improve screen performance, no Mips were included in these textures. This should not produce any significant difference when the aircraft image, in spot view, is not shorter than half of screen width.
