Ron's Air Atlantique G-AMRA could do with that much polish

I spent the last hour or so, loving a challenge at Joe Baugher's complete serial number site searching for possible combinations of the serial XXX790 and even went on the internet to the 179th Air Mobility Wing Site (OHIO ANG) to see if there might be something there. They make one reference to having one Douglas C-47 in Midlands so this must be it. Probably flew it home after the war. Serial number wise, here is the link to:

HTML Code:

http://www.joebaugher.com/usaf_serials/1942_5.html

where he lists 42-92790 as a Douglas C47A-DK Skytrain and no other information. If you want to use that serial number on the tail you probably could in my opinion rather than leave it blank, your choice. Otherwise, I tried every other combination in his search engine and except for 44-76790 which was lend-leased to USSR, there aren't any C47's I found with XX-XX790 serial numbers from 41-45.

I finished the olive drab series. Tomorrow I will upload all skins.
Btw.Something new on my desktop. Any idea what will it be? ; )

***huub vink*** · August 3rd, 2016, 13:23

Thanks good news YoYo! Looking forward to your olive drab creations. I Your new repaint will definitely be a R4D!

BTW uploading here at the SOH is really very easy.

Cheers,
Huub

Seeing Russ Strine's name painted under the cockpit window is the only real clue needed. ; ) http://www.maam.org/airshow/r4d_exterior.htm

Looking forward to all of your repaints, YoYo!

**DaveB** · August 3rd, 2016, 14:19

The 'Miss Virginia' team had a spare set of engine cowels..

What scenery is that, Dave?

**gman5250** · August 3rd, 2016, 20:52

I uploaded another of my skins, tuned up for the V3 model. This one is DXT5, rather than 32 bit which has been received with mixed reviews.

Douglas C-47 V3 USAF_1308.zip
Serial: T2 (1308676) C-47 which carried 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions belonged to 50th, 52nd and 53rd Wings.

@ zsoltquack

Your repaint serie is awesome

Don't stop painting !
Waiting for your uploads

Thanks - Gérard

**gaab** · August 4th, 2016, 03:11

To the C-47 V3 team

At last, I am back home and could fly this great C-47.

Congratulations.
I don't find the words to express my great admiration.
The "audible checklist" is a brillant idea - very immersive.

It was worth the (long...) wait

Gérard

**speedy70** · August 4th, 2016, 03:27

DaveB how did you transfer the shiny engine cowls to Ron's Atlantique ,as I would like to do that as well.

Cheers Chris

Hello Zsolt,

Thanks for all of your great paints and FS work!

According to Warbird Information Exchange (http://www.warbirdinformationexchang...ic.php?t=26970) and Joe Baugher's website (http://www.joebaugher.com/), it is 42-93790, which is now on display at Ft Benning. GA in WWII colors.

"May 1960 found the C-47A with the 112th Tactical Fighter Squadron (ANG), in Toledo, Ohio. The 112th at this time were operating the F-84 Thunderjet and in 1960 the 112th merged with the 180th Tactical Fighter Group, flying the F-84 Thunderjet F-84F Thunderstreak and into 1971. 790 may have been used as a Support/Admin Aircraft."

"42-93790 (MSN 13741) seen in 2007 on display at Ft Benning, GA, having been displayed there since at least Mar 1970."

It would be a good subject for a lifespan set of liveries, showing various operators. There are pictures of the Alaska paint job also.

One point of note, as the Ohio ANG aircraft, the tail number was probably marked as 0-93790, like here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/billywilt/13907390913.

Thanks again for your paints!
