    The Polar Express

    5am local, looking out over the airfield. It has been snowing for days now and the howling wind never seems to let up. The high temperature today is not going to climb above 11F. I think I'm going to go back into the hangar for some lukewarm coffee.

    There sitting quietly on the frigid ramp is a metal giant capable of turning out over 10,000 hp...

    Great.

    Are you going to release the paint?

    Cheers Chris

    Hey Chris,

    This is not my doing. Manfred Jahn released a few C-121 paints for his Connie series some time ago which can be found at Flightsim.

    Just giving the older model some appreciation before the new A2A L-049 pushes it to the boneyard.

    Finally made it to Deadhorse about 5am and saw Moses's shiny Lockheed. I Got a little sidetracked with this Russian guy who made me a great deal on on an aircraft formerly used by the USSR's Polar Aviation division of Aeroflot. He said there's a few cases of vodka in the cargo hold that he'd throw in on the deal. Now to go install a coffee pot in the galley....

    Well, we finally got underway today. Unfortunately the C-121 was out on assignment so I had to settle for another large beast parked on the ramp.
