FSX South African Air Force Douglas C-47

South African Air Force Douglas C-47 repaint depicts airframe 6868 “Rustig” in circa-1960 VIP transport markings, adding period-correct military identity and authentic registration details to the classic Skytrain for Microsoft Flight Simulator X. The livery reflects the aircraft’s postwar Lend-Lease lineage and long operational career, and requires a compatible Douglas C-47 base model.
