MSFS DC-6A Florida Air Transport N70BF | 2024

Payware PMDG DC-6 is needed.
 

This repaint shows one of the last operating DC-6 (Dezember 2023) in its current paint scheme. N70BF c/n 43720 started life 1953 as an R6D-1, US Navy 131617. It’s not known when the US Navy retired this C-118B, but it was stationed at Naval Air Station Barbers Point with Fleet Tactical Support Squadron 21 “Pineapple Airlines” (VR-21) at some point in the 1960s and 70s with the RZ tail code.

In 1989, it was sold to Basler Flight services, and registered as N70BF. Spent some time in Mexico as XA-SCZ (1992-1998), before finding it´s way to Florida Air Transport (Miami Opa-Locka) in 2000.
 

Since 2012, it had a spray system installed, and has been flying as an oil spill dispersal aircraft, working for the National Response Center (NRC). Today N70BF is based at PHJR Kalaeloa Airport JRF in Oahu, Hawaii, formerly NAS Barbers Point. This is a homecoming for this aircraft, since it was based at Barbers Point more than 50 years ago.
