BOEING 377 STRATOCRUISER PAA .

THE AMAZING PLANE THAT MADE COMERCIAL FLIGHT LOOK GOOD THE BOEING 377 STRATOCRUIZER. Despite a service record, remembered for one or two early disasters arising from a propeller design fitted to the Stratocruiser in its earlier years, Boeing's remarkable airliner was one of the most capable of post-war propeller-driven transports, and certainly among the most luxurious. Only 55 were built as airliners, joined eventually by the reconditioned prototype to make a total of 56. Another 60 of this general design, with significant engineering differences, were built as C-97 military transports, but the majority were built as KC-97 tankers, with many more military successors to follow. The jet-powered Boeing 707 would regain Boeing's dominance in the civil airliner market, while the KC-135 would continue to serve as a jet tanker into the twenty-first century. The lengendary Lockheed C-130 of the mid-1950s was somewhat similar in size and speed, but as it adopted turboprop power and was packaged from ground-up as a combat airlifter with tail ramp for operation from rough fields, it would become one of the most successful military aircraft of all time.

As a member of the NHARNG in 1966, I was fortunate enough to spend time in the military version of this aircraft. Being a flying wingnut since childhood and having FSX in my computer, I'd really like to know the name of this file.

I've got two favorite airplanes in my world and this is one of them. The other is the Lockheed Constellation.. If you can tell the file name I'd be quite thankful and maybe sometime in the next dimension, I could take you for a ride in a real airplane.

@zonavelha Thanks for the info, but I've already found and downloaded it. Now if I can just figure out why my mouse pointer has vanished so that I can really get into it, I may be happy.
