FS2004 Linee Aeree Italiane Lockheed L-1649A

Linee Aeree Italiane, at the end of 1956, placed an order for four Lockeed L-1649 Starliners for the Rome-New York route. All of the four planes had already been built and painted in LAI colours at the factory in Burbank, the first one, which had been registered I-ZAMA, and the second one had already begun the pre-delivery flight tests when, on September 1st 1957, LAI was merged into Alitalia. The new Alitalia-Linee Aeree Italiane cancelled the order and the aircraft also went to TWA. Texture set only in L.A.I./I-ZAMA livery for the Manfred Jahn's Lockheed L-1649A Starliner (L1649A.ZIP). Repaint by Manuele Villa.

description="The Starliner was the last of the long-range piston-engine airliners. Designed to fly Los Angeles-London or Paris-Tokyo in around 20 hours non-stop, it established numerous long-distance records, many of them still current today. Providing accommodation for twenty-six first-class and forty-five tourist-class passengers, the Starliner entered service with TWA in May 1957. Other operators were Air France and Lufthansa. Linee Aeree Italiane, at the end of 1956, placed an order for four Lockeed L-1649 Starliners for using them on Rome-New York route. All of the four planes had already been built and painted in LAI colours at the factory in Burbank, the first one, which had been registered I-ZAMA, and the second one had already begun the pre-delivery flight tests when, on September 1st 1957, LAI was merged into Alitalia.
