July 12, 201510 yr Reading old newspapers sometimes gives ideas for flightsimming, like this "breaking story" of... 19th May 1953: Quote of Air Journal (with translation): Le record a été battu sur le trajet sans escales Los Angeles – Paris, soit 9 200 kilomètres parcourus par le Douglas Super DC-6B de la TAI en un temps de 20 heures et 28 minutes, l’avion évoluant alors à une vitesse de 450 kilomètres à l’heure. Unquote The world record (of the longest commercial flight) was established on a non-stop flight Los Angeles - Paris (Le Bourget), 9200 km flown by a TAI (Transports Aériens Intercontinentaux) Douglas Super DC-6B in 20 hours and 28 minutes, the plane was travelling at 450 km/h. Hence my request to please include a TAI livery in your forthcoming DC6B set, so that we may attempt this non stop flight (with or without time acceleration...). Should you need any photos, there are plenty available on Internet. Thanky to consider:
