(I live very south of South America.. but this song... even so, nostalgia invades me)
(context: at dawn, after ten hours of flights, and almost no sleep for 2 days)
-boys, you must be tired
-No problem! After this breakfast and coffee, we will be ready to go.
-Very good, because we are going to need them ALL day....
"We flew alone through the valley, (...) we were so tired that precautions and even fear were put aside as we reached areas (...) virgin and without company or coverage. Noon indicated that twenty-four hours had passed since we left the field (...). It seemed like a month had passed. we had been flying for about twenty of those twenty-four hours. it didn't matter that we were both laughing every time we landed... we were delirious.
We continue to fly all day and all night. I don't remember (the) refuelings...I don't remember the landings...I don't even remember who we took or where (we took them)....I can't count the number of departures, or anything that is supposed to which should have been registered. Later we were congratulated for our serene attitude in the midst of enemy fire...
...but I can't even remember the fire."

Good weekend to everyone!
As the title says (and the video above), it's the end... of the part about the DC-3/C-47 (I'll continue with the C-117D which is very small in comparison)
the LAST two liveries are SPOOKY (in the first douglas force thread I called him "Flashbacks"
) and HOLLAND (or "ex-holland")livery SPOOKY
I have searched all over the internet, although there is some texture that claims to be "spooky" the camouflage pattern does not match the one worn by the real spooky. (obviously, it's green, light green, and brown...but the pattern of lines wasn't the same).
so i edited the painting that looks more like a spooky, which belonged to the "EC-47P Iron Butterfly" (ALL credit for this creation goes to "Duckie" from simouthouse) ...but I made "fictitious" modifications, so it's not 100% Spooky
(besides all the added wheels, bumps...etc)
-added matte black propeller, with yellow tips (FICTIONAL, the Spooky had matte silver propellers)
-remove all marks of air forces (or logos of the usaf, nor of the squadron,...etc) (also those of the original "ironbutterfly")
-I darkened engine cylinders, and prop shafts A LOT.
-added A LOT of security flags (I guess they are wrong, and they are fictitious)
-and of course, THE MOST IMPORTANT MODIFICATION, I darkened the entire base of the plane (wings and fuselages). this job cost me a lot, and it didn't come out as good as i wanted,... but according to real photos of Spookys, the color was dark gray (not pure black), and the edges of the gray on the fuselage were wavy, not straight. especially difficult was painting the base of the motor in grey.
-" we warned you!! " (completely FICTIONAL, I don't know if it is translated correctly... but in Spanish I wanted to say "TE LO ADVERTIMOS!".
EDITED: I Forgot to mention to I modify the color, balance, and hue of the green and brown colors. now it is darker, and the green is "stronger" (originally everything was light)
livery holland
(all credit for this texture goes to Emile Lancee)
This is the livery in which I worked the least to modify, I was almost about to throw away the work of this painting, I hardly made any modifications.
-Just remove some logos and license plates.
-added a decorative ribbon on the tail.
-I turned some sectors (propellers) shiny silver
-mainly I made the "alpha" layer of the trim strips less bright
Obviously, the photos are almost at dusk, over the river, and also at dawn. (I made the mistake of leaving the lights on, I suppose that in real missions they had everything turned off. Especially the night spooky ones to avoid anti-aircraft fire).

(it's normal, but on the horizon it seems to get much bigger... the texture is from the package "hd_moon_texture_v3_0")
