File Description:
Textures for the Lockheed L-049 Constellation by the team Roland Berger, Volker Boehme, Manfred Jahn, Luis Pallas, Bill Tyne and Stefan Werner. Repaint by Manfred Meyer.
The company Nevada Airmotive bought TWA's L-049 fleet in 1962 for lease and/or resell them. But only fife of the 25 Constellations found new operators .
One of these aircrafts was c/n 2025, built 1945 and used by Lockheed as factory demonstrator until delivered to TWA as NC86504 "Star of France" in 1946. Sold to Nevada Airmotive in 1962 and leased to Futura Airlines and some month later to Paradise Airlines Inc. Oakland, CA. Paradise used the plane together with two further Constellations for flights from Oakland, Salinas, San Jose and other points in California to Lake Tahoe, bringing peoples to Horrah's gambling club there. Sadly N86504 crashed 1. march 1964 nine miles northwest of Lake Tahoe into the mountains with the lost of all 85 on board. Paradise AL then was forced to close down by FAA for failing to conduct a safe operation.
