Rocky Mountain DHC-7 N47RM

Textures for the updated Milton Shupe Dash-7. Requires dash7pkgx.zip or soh_dhc7x.zip ( FSX native ) and possibly the update soh_dhc7x-1.zip . There are textures for the FSX port over version which should work in FS2004 but not tested and textures for the FSX native version. Repaint by Matt Ervin.

Maybe once or twice a year an oustanding freeware aircraft that is equal to or better than some payware will pop up.This Dash 7 in my opinion is one of them. Thank you to all of the above people for giving their talents and time to us for free and giving us this amazing aircraft.
