Great!
The Greg Pepper/Tom Gibson masterpiece still is alive and kicking!
Just downloading, but as far as I can tell from the pics, Hans and Georg did a great job with this upgrade and relaunch!

Can't wait to crank up those mighty Double Wasps!

Cheers,
Markus.

Looks fantastic. Thanks for the HU.

Just to clarify: the VC is unchanged from the previous CalClassic releases, correct? I wasn't sure if they were re-textured, etc (I'm away from my FS computer for the next several days...just curious).

Thanks!

3 new repaints for the miltary variant are available at Avsim. Mike

One of my favorites for FS2004. The American Airlines version is near and dear to me. My Mother was a Stewardess for American in the 1950's flying the CV-240.

Loving these re-vamped Convairs !!! Mike

[Flyboy208]

And it is a real treat to have the rare 1976 US Coast Guard version ... Mike
