Hi Ralf.
I'll grab the rest tonight, add them all to the flight plans and then test them one more time.
Thanks again for helping me bring Capitol back to life!!

Hi. I managed to get a lot of new stuff at a Convention at FRA last week. I simply couldn´t resist as he wanted 2€ per FP. Now I got 20 new ones and more to come (this will fill up the Globe I gues and prevent me from buying any new stuffs at e-bay   ) Anyway, I got a Capitol from 1982/83, my Birthyear  , and I´ll do it next as the Paints are there. What paints were used in that Timeframe? Regards. -STEFAN-SUN_KING- |

All this talk of Capitol makes me wonder - has anyone else thought of doing military charters? These would fit nicely in any late 1960's-early 1970's AI setup, because of all the flights to and from Vietnam. Braniff had very limited operations on the West Coast back then - one run on the old Panagra route from SFO to Lima via LAX. But they had a base at Oakland for the 707-327Cs that flew Military Airlift Command charters to Saigon via Honolulu and Guam (sometimes Manila). In one of my books, I have a rough schedule for these flights circa 1968, and I've thought about working it up and paining the planes for it. There were other airlines, such as Capitol, that felw these types of flights. So was Seaboard World - we flew on them to Germany in '74. American Flyers Airline was another - they also chartered out an Electra to The Beatles for their first American tour in 1964. A bit of trivia, at the end of the tour, AFA owner/Captain Reed Pigman flew the band in his personal twin Beech to his ranch in Arkansas for some R&R before they returned to England. It was on a military charter in 1966 that Pigman lost his life. He was in command of an Electra making a visual approach to AFA's base at Ardmore, Oklahoma when it's believed he suffered a fatal heart attack. It's believed that he then slumped over the controls and before the First Officer could gain control, the aircraft impacted with a ridge in the foothills of the Arbuckle Mountains. All told, 83 perished in the state's worst non-natural disaster until the OKC Bombing. The aircraft had been flying soldiers from Fort Ord, CA to Fort Benning, GA and was landing at the Ardmore base to refuel. I do think that would be a great idea! On the same subject, the Los Angeles Dodgers leased aircraft from American Airlines, painted with Dodger logos during the 1960s and early 70s. They were a Lockheed Electra and a Boeing 720. If would be great to have these painted up! www.airliners.net/open.file/0710562/M/ www.airliners.net/open.file/0672604/M/ Andy |
