Shalom and greetings all my pals,

Presenting exciting recreation of emergency Christmas airlift supply flight from CYHY Hay River/Merlyn Carter Airport located 1.7 miles north of Hay River, Northwest Territories, Canada to CYZF Yellowknife Airport located in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada using Flight Replicas R5D (C-54G) featuring well polished/buffed masterpiece work painted and polished exclusively by repainter named Hartmut Hekmann who is the official repainter for Virtual Aircraft Restoration Facebook group owned and operated by Hartmut Hekmann and Tobias Krause.

Nice pictures--not much info:

Which Sim?

Available now?

or is it  WLYKSTIFW 

["We'll-let-you-know-some-time-in-the-future-ware?"]

If the latter, we've got more than enough of that already.

Lovely series, Aharon...!!

I've been eyeing that Flight Replicas (DC-4/C-54/Carvair) Combo...excellent package for the classic A/C enthusiasts...(and, now I know it also contains the R5D...🙂...)...
