June 9, 20241 yr Over 90 years ago, on August 27, 1931, the Dornier Do X became visible over New York at around 11 am. To this day, the arrival of the "DO X" in New York is considered a milestone in aviation history. Here it goes past LaGuardia Before landing on the Hudson, the plane was allowed to fly around the Statue of Liberty The Do X remained in New York until spring 1932, the crew returned to Germany by ship. Our ship is the Majestic of the White Star Line, which was launched in 1914 as the Bismarck Thanks for viewing Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds My specs: AMD Radeon RX6700XT, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB RAM, 34" monitor, screen resolution: 2560x1080

It was a mixture of technical problems (she was a rather complex beast), lack of funds and regulatory requirements by US aviation authorities, once those repairs were finished.
