About This File
FS2004 USAF MATS Lockheed C-121. This file contains five liveries for the Manfred Jahn/Connie Team Lockheed Constellation C121, and requires the prior installation of their L1049H package (L1049H.ZIP). The liveries concerned are for aircraft of the 41st and 76th Transport Squadrons of the US Air Force based at Charleston, which were part of the Military Air Transport Service and used C-121s between 1955 and 1962. They are distinguished here by their Lockheed Construction Numbers, which were not the same as their USAF serials. Those concerned are 4173, 4175, 4192 and 4194, and all the liveries are based on surviving photographs. 4175, which later in its career became the Breitling Super Constellation, is represented twice because it was at one time painted in a bare metal livery which seems to have been very unusual among USAF MATS aircraft.
