    Pappy Gunn's Twin Beech.zip


    A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FS 2004 Civilian Props

    Description: A skin for Milton Shupe's Beesh D18 "Twin Beech" depicting one of two B18s that, along with a B17 Staggerwing, made up the Philippine Air Lines fleet at the outbreak of WW2. This one was flown by PAL's Chief Pilot and Operations Manager Paul I. "Pappy" Gunn on a number of legendary flights around and within the Philippine Islands in early 1942, between the Japanese invasion and the fall of Corregidor, as a civilian and then as a U.S. Army officer.

    Thank you!

    Someone else did the red base color. I removed the extensive white parts and the markings, cleaned up the white fuselage trim, and added the the registration in the appropriate places.

    The PAL fleet had no company markings. They probably weren't in business long enough to come up with any. The overall red color was selected because ot was Mrs. Gunn's favorite color. I have no idea if the shade is correct.
