Done in Paint SHop Pro X4 ... a B&W filter overlaid over the original screeshot with a 0 saturation adjustment layer at 67% opacity

Model:  Narik Homeyer  C-54 model reworked by Chris Grabow, with a Dale Deluca repaint..  FSDS2 model. 

Screenshot in FS2004, 8:30PM out of Seattle, heading South.  Mt. Rainier in the background.  (Okay, Seattle probably didn't see many Eastern DC-4s in their heyday....)

I tried for an aged colour photograph look.

Thanks to all the kind words.

Eastern Air Lines does bring back very fond memories.   Eastern was THE airline of preference as I grew up in PR.  Along with PanAm and Transcaribbean, they were the main airlines servinge between PR and the US mainland.  At that time (through the late '60s) Delta had a thrice weekly (or so, it wasn't daily) service between New Orleans and San Juan.

My first flights were on Eastern, to New York and Miami.  If I recall correctly, it was probably a DC-6. 

I'm wondering if we should post the edited screenshot, and a smaller "unedited" version so as to compare the "before" and "after" ??

Hmm...  That might be a good idea. :)
