Local Legends Ideas

I think the Topolev Tu-144 would be nice with a Russia World Update. It was the first commercial supersonic airplane and the technic was 30 years ahead of the soviet union. And by the way Concorde comes to the Sim probably this year with DC Design. And there are still a lot 144's around. Some years ago the even restored the paint job of the model that made the test flights with NASA.

I would like to see a B377 Stratocruiser or Super Guppy it would fit great with Local Legend and would be the first Stratocruiser or Super Guppy since Microsoft Flight Simulator X

A lot of great suggestions here so far.

I’d LOVE more smokey old jet airliners from the dawn of the the jet age.

A (later) Comet, Boeing 707/737-200/720/727, DC8 or DC-9 (my vote!!!), a Trident....don’t care as long as it is A) older than Me age 48 B) hopelessly loud and smokey!!

I miss my teenage 1990s days of going to my cousins’ near the Madison, WI airport and feeling their entire neighborhood rumble and windows shake with each 727/DC-9 takeoff!

And the SMOKE...we must have LOTS of smoke! 🙂
 

And a GPS!

Did you all see you were replying to a 2-year old topic?

Yah but the planes are way older than 2 years.

You get necro here all the time.

My vote is the Sweary Ford Fish.

Yes indeed. Raised from the dead by @Unwarymammal363 's first post on this forum. Well his username certainly checks out! 😁

I wonder what Flying Boat it is this month?  

To be fair, both the Latécoère and the Do X were excellently modelled. 

I paid about £8 each for them which is an absolute bargain, but I would really like something a bit different this time.

Something boring and familiar please. And without floats.

According to this interview, the next Local Legend is going to be Japanese.

Anyone know any Japanese flying boats? lmao

I'm guessing we're going to see a Zero from Aeroplane Heaven, though on the flying boat front it could be a ShinMaya US-2 or a Kawanishi H8K.

Personally, I'm hoping for 1) a non-Aeroplane Heaven product, and 2) an NAMC YS-11 turboprop airliner, or a Mitsubishi MU-2. 

We'll find out any time from now to maybe 5 hours from now.

Fingers crossed for MU-2
