Northeast Airlines’ Douglas DC-6B N6586C brings a 1958-era look to classic piston-airliner ops in FS2004, with period-accurate exterior textures and matching airline details for a convincing ramp and runway presence. Requires the CalClassic DC-6B model by Greg Pepper and Tom Gibson, with repaint work by Gary Harper.
Textures for the DC6B aircraft by Greg Pepper and Tom Gibson available at Calclassics. Textures by Gary Harper.
