Kdierken Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Today I decided on pulling this good old UAL DC-10 1974 paint scheme out of the hanger, dust her off and fly her from LAX-SFO. She still great for her age, I hope you agree. I think this is still the best paint scheme for UAL. Enjoy Kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomTweak Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Yes, Kenny, she IS still a lovely lady, despite her age. I grew up watching my father climb into DC-8-62 and -63's in that paint job for his flights to Hawaii, New York, all over from KSFO. When he transitioned to 737's, still in that paint, I made him a model of it. Took me some time to get the decal going up the tail juuust right. As far as I know, it's still hanging from the ceiling of our Family Room. Eventually, I made him a DC-8, too. He loved those Stretch 8's, as he called them. The 737's were his second favorite, though. He called them Minipigs :D Anyway, Thanks for a great picture! Pat☺ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Had a thought...then there was the smell of something burning, and sparks, and then a big fire, and then the lights went out! I guess I better not do that again!

omega7 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I like this shot Kenny, but don't be shy posting some more in different angles, the paint scheme will be more revealing ;):cool: Gonzalo [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kdierken Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 Sooooo many to thank but thanks to all. I also have the paint scheme for Larry's too. My dad was a test pilot on all DC-8 series, DC-9's & of course DC-10's still my favorite. Upon completion of testing he had to fly & deliver for example to Chicago to train upcoming DC-10 AA, UAL pilots on how to fly this beautiful A/C. He has since passed away in 1980, but sometimes this is my way of showing how much he is missed by me and all who flew this beautiful plane as passengers & pilots & still do. I flew once from ORD back to LAX on the first passenger maiden flight of AA DC-10, I was a teenager then very fond memories. I know I have that picture of the passenger on that DC-10 plus I got to see them transporting AA DC-10 across the main Highway in Long Beach after it got painted. When I find it I will scan in show you all Kenny :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick_Cantu Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 That might depend on how we define "age" - that model is pretty dated (as in - it was the very first addon with XML wingflex)! My name is Erick Westbrook-Cantu. I used to make flightsim addons. I may or may not endorse this message. I do, however, fully endorse Marshall amplifiers, Gibson guitars, and Tama drums."This town is a dump.

Kdierken Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Very interesting Erik, I like this model for FS9. I always appreciate the modelers out there that give to this interest all freeware. The time spent on doing the detail amazes me. Thanks to all who do this. Kenny :):):):):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
