FS2004 Oscar Mayer Douglas C-124

This repaint offers a distinctive Oscar Mayer-themed livery for the JBK Douglas C-124 Globemaster II in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. It forms a visually captivating variation of the cargo transporter while preserving all the original flight modeling and aircraft characteristics. Created by Bob Azzaro and modified with permission by Rory Thomson, this add-on provides a playful yet historically connected representation of the legendary USAF heavy-lift aircraft. Note that it requires the base freeware model, which you can find in the Fly Away Simulation mod library. It does not include the underlying Douglas C-124 model.

In this custom repaint, you will notice an eye-catching Oscar Mayer exterior design layered onto the Globemaster II, highlighting the vibrant texture while maintaining the aircraft’s well-known features.
