    The aircraft portrayed by M. Fouchard also has an interesting history. This aircraft, named "Croix de Sud," served for a number of years for Aeropostale and its successor, Air France, flying mail across the South Atlantic. It disappeared over the Atlantic on a flight from Natal to Dakar, 7 December 1936. The last radio message from the flight put their position at 11o 8%u2019 N, 22o 40%u2019 W, and said "Coupons moteur arri%u00E8re droit, (right rear motor has stopped). The pilot was Jean Mermoz, France' most famous aviator of the time.

    M. Fouchard doesn't mention that the aircraft portrayed is Aeropostale's "Comte del la Vaulx," which made the first crossing of the South Atlantic, from St. Louis (Ndar), Senegal to Natal, Brazil, May 12-13, 1930, piloted by the legendary Jean Mermoz. Looking at the aircraft.cfg file, it appears that M. Fouchard's aircraft is carrying extra fuel to make it possible to simulate the transatlantic flight.
