FSX United States Maries Douglas C-117D MCAS Quantico

United States Marine Corps Douglas C-117D Skytrooper textures recreate a 1976 MCAS Quantico aircraft, matching the Super DC-3’s classic transport era with authentic markings for historical flight operations. Designed for FSX, the repaint slots into Manfred Jahn’s model and requires C117_V1_BETA.ZIP, delivering a period-correct virtual cockpit experience.

The C-117D Skytrooper or Super DC-3 was a medium-range transport serving with the U.S. Navy and Marines. Only three Super 3s were commercially operated, however one hundred U.S. Navy and USMC Skytroopers did see extended service all over the world under the designations R4D-8 (early years) and C-117D (1962 onwards). The last Marines C-117D was withdrawn from use in June 1982. This paint scheme represents a C-117D of MCAS Quantico, 1976. Textures only, must have C117_V1_BETA.ZIP by Manfred Jahn. Repaint by James Craig.
