Thanks to Mitch for the heads up on Manfred Jahn's excellent C-47.

A short flight around Gray AAF.

I thought it was both, but I did not get the same livery as his other one.

Great shots.  It's 2 and 5 for me!  Love the reflective shiny looks.

Nice series Larry. Aren't you going to add the Buffalo airline livery for it?

Not sure yet. I like it, but green is not my favorite color. And I still have not flown some of the Awesome Foursome. I'm beginning to think one can have too many aircraft/liveries.

If I flew every single livery of every aircraft just thirty minutes, and flew an average of two hours a day, it would take me 228 days to fly them all. I think I need to drop a few that I rarely,

or never fly, and be more selective in what I add.

Thanx LT for the heads-up on this superb piece!  Been in it all evening!

I luv the reflective part!  Many kudos to the modelers, they came up with a work of art with this one!

Hope this near sundown shot shows.

Gracias to you both! 

The detailin' on this thing outclasses a goodly bit of payware craft I have.....like the nomenclature on the prop blades.....who does that on a freeware piece?

An artist in my humble opinion, that's who.
