Retro Spotting at Karachi’s Jinnah Airport . . . . . . . . . . 1963

[NMLW]

Thought I would take a page from Bob’s book and do some spotting Retro style. My tower views didn’t look very good, so I took the spot shots from regular propliner aircraft. They are identified in the narrative.

Loving this post, Larry! You have the best assortment of vintage aircraft in your sim than anyone I've ever seen. That KLM Connie "The Flying Dutchman" is my favorite. Great documentation, outstanding effort here, my friend.

Such an impressive collection. But that Luftansa Viscount made me swoon. So pretty.

Lopve the CalClassic A1 packages. Fantastic collection and pics Larry I tried to install them in FSX but the results were hilarious.....

They say hindsight is 20/20. I guess you've proven it! Wonderful gathering of classics. My favourite is the Ethiopian connie.
BTW Can I have my page back? I wasn't done reading it. — Bob

Bernardo: Thanks glad you enjoyed them.

Bob: The paints on some of the older propliner AI are not very crisp. Some are very good, however. Your page is on it's way back by pony express. I had a tintype image made so I could use it again. Thanks.
