I actually wouldn't mid flying this... maybe Captain Sim should make it. Any thoughts?



It looks like a propeller version of the 747, just more exaggerated. It was in the movie "Goldfinger".

Oh yes the Canvair. It was either a DC-4 or DC-6 converted to a large cargo transport. Kinda neat. Prop 747 is right, bu the tail is wrong Smiley

Seemed like a good idea at the time! (Before you could rent a car anywhere in the world for $30/day.)
