June 22, 20214 yr For those of you who are enjoying the DC-6 -- especially those who maybe haven't really done much with vintage aviation in the past and may not already know about it -- I thought I'd share this wonderful site: Airline Timetable Images They have a staggeringly vast collection of images of airline timetables from the dawn of aviation to much more recent times, broken down by country. It's a great place to spend some time poking around if you're looking for some real routes to fly in your DC-6. Most of the timetables in that era actually included information on the equipment that was used, so on just about all of these there's some way to find out which flights used the 6 -- either it's listed by name, or sometimes by an icon you have to look up. You could try perhaps try KLM's North American routes from 1949. Or maybe a flight to Baghdad in 1958 might be more your speed. If you wanted to dip down south, you could maybe run some of Ansett's Skychief services across Austraila in 1955. Or, if you're focused on the American airlines, there's Panair do Brazil's flights from Lima to Beiruit in 1959. Of course, there are scads you could pick from for the US, too, like Braniff's domestic service in 1959, or PanAm's transatlantics in 1952. I could go on forever, so I'll stop there. It should give you some ideas, and if not visit the site and do some browsing of your own. It's one of my all-time favorites. Edited June 22, 20214 yr by kaosfere
June 22, 20214 yr Amazing suggestions. Thank you very much for the links. Loving this airplane. I'd love a Constellation as well.
June 22, 20214 yr @kaosfere Rob- that site has kept me busy for years... I’ve got a thing for old aeroplanes. Did I read you correctly? Has PMDG released their DC-6? Any good? 😉 C Best- Carl Avari-Cooper
