Very sad indeed. Vlado is one of the greats in the Warbird, and particularly Mustang community. My late father and him exchanged some great Mustang trivia over the years.

A sad day.

I don't really know if that's a fair statement. They were very successful, and profitable. They just needed a change.

I see Tom Falley there as doing the FDE. He's one of our own here, and certainly one of the best. Lot's of real-world radial experience.

The author of the liveries is Alan W. 8055. He was banned from SOH a few years ago, while trying to contribute. Otherwise we might all have free access to his work here in the library.

Colin group's a lot of people into "coder" for the layman's understanding.

It's probably a 3d model recently purchased or acquired from another party. As is with many MilViz...

I probably share your sediment exactly. I think anyone who has watch the Ice Pilots series is going to be quite interested in the C-46. And Also Flight Replica's DC-4, for that matter.

Interesting story Dave. I remember that incident well. I was pretty young at the time. It's amazing what he continues to accomplish.

Wright R-3350 and Pratt & Whitney R-2800 are both 18-cyl twin row radials. The Air Classics article might have been related to the Sanders R-2800 powered "Argonaut" ?

Curious if it is really Dwelle's that flew yesterday? Hadn't heard of it flying yet. It had a modified Wright R-3350 when racing. Most of the restored Sea Fury's use the 3350. Only one thus far has...

Excellent post. I'd bet John (Bomber_12th) will reply. I'm sure he'd be very interested in the information you've provided, and thank-you for sharing it with us here!

Backcountry flying is an entirely different operation.

It is recommended by some as common etiquette in the backcountry to designate yourself by type / color.

For some reason the DC-4 / C-54 just looks right. Something about the Northstar (actual aircraft, not Flight Replicas) just doesn't do it for me. However the full blown DC-4 / C-54 looks fantastic....

Will anxiously await!

I think it's great that community can sustain healthy competition between developers. Of course, with Dave's models being free he does have the advantage! <grin>.

It was actually just a test. The rest of the airplane is getting the strip / paint treatment.

Will be silver and blue as pictured below.
