The C-117D Skytrooper or Super DC-3 was a medium-range transport serving with the US Navy and Marines. Only three Super 3s were commercially operated, however one hundred U.S. Navy and Marines 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 The last Marines C-117D was withdrawn from use in June 1982.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 NAS China Lake, early 1980's. Textures only, must have C117_V1_BETA.ZIP by Manfred Jahn. Repaint by Wayne Tuder. Some repaint mods by James Craig.
