FS2004 Northwest Orient Airlines Lockheed N5172V

Northwest Orient Airlines’ Lockheed L-1049E N5172V livery recreates the April 1955 delivery scheme with carefully matched period markings and a convincing, airline-authentic finish. Built from Manfred Jahn’s original texture work and refined by Tim Scharnhop, it requires the L-1049G Super Constellation package for FS2004.
