CFS/FS98 Lockheed Vega - Amelia Earhart. The Vega was a six-passenger monoplane built by the Lockheed company starting in 1927. It became famous for its use by a number of record breaking pilots who were attracted to the rugged and very long-ranged design. Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly the Atlantic single handed in one. Amelia Earhart's Vega is a part of the collection of the National Air and Space Museum. Earhart's Transatlantic Vega is on display at the original National Air and Space Museum building in Washington, D.C. Original FS5 model creator: Scott A. Dommin. Reworked to CFS with moving parts, dp, and metalized colors: Edmundo Abad.
