I was having a bit of spring clean today , and i found an old copy of aviation news (june 2011) and there was an article about a couple of C-46 from Taiwan operating here back in the early 50's.
At the peak of their tour , they were doing 11 trips a day between Woodbourne and Paraparaumu.
just wanted to know if anyone knows if there is an FSX 46 around ? (i could check i suppose)

Ive kept the magazine just in case someone wanted to repaint one ....

Formed by Claire Chennault of Flying tigers fame ..... interesting.

Chatting the other day about the "Flying Tigers" , funny this chap went off the path , yes they were aggressive and there skill in the skies have become legend due to the fact the were mercenaries or hired guns , lack of military discipline and more a whiskey bottle on the hip , it was the Chinese blokes who gave them the name "Tigers" with chasing the pretty Chinese girls around - one of the most famous after the disbandment went back to the Marines was Gregory"Pappy"Boyington ... this is were the famous Black Sheep squadron came about .
