File Description:
This is a repaint of the C-46 in Riddle Airlines 1959 colors. The freeware C-46 by Libardo Guzman and Tom Gibson is needed for this repaint. Riddle Airlines was a a non scheduled carrier, which mainly focused on cargo flights, but passenger flights were also offered. It was founded in 1945 by John P. Riddle,who flew contract flights between Miami and Brazil during WW2. The airline was based at Miami. In late summer 1945, passenger and freight services were inaugurated between New York City and Puerto Rico. It expaned it's network to all of the Americas and the Carribean in the following years. Due to financial difficulties faced by most cargo carriers in ther 1950s, Riddle also accepted both civilian and military contracts and strengthened its fleet whenever possible. However, Riddle continued to face deep financial troubles, and in June 1962 all services were suspended. This crisis led to a reorganization of the airline in July 1962 under an entirely new management team, and the airline was back in the air thereafter. On November 29 of that year, Riddle was renamed Airlift International. This Riddle C-46, N74178, flew with the airline from 1960 to 1963. This repaint was tested on FSX-SE. Textures are 32bit bmp. It should work on FSX, P3D v1-3, & FS2004.

| FS2004/FSX/P3D Fred Olsen C-46 1970 |

File Description:
This is a repaint of the C-46 in Fred Olsen Lines 1970 colors. The freeware C-46 by Libardo Guzman and Tom Gibson is needed for this repaint. The famous Norwegian shipping magnate; Fred Olsen, formed his new airline "Fred Olsen’s Flyselskap" in June 1946. It was a nonscheduled carrier, which offered aircraft leasing, passenger and cargo charters, calibration flights, and contract service flights. They started with DC-3s and in 1958 five C-46s joined the fleet. Also, many of the company’s services were undertaken under contract to SAS, the national carrier of the Scandinavian countries. Fred Olsen Lines was focused mainly on cargo flights, and in 1965 their fleet had three C-46s and one DC-6A/B. Two more DC-6s were added to the fleet during 1966-67, followed by a Convair CV-340 in 1968. In 1969 Fred Olsen Lines' emphasis was to offer executive passenger charter services with their new Falcon executive jets. However, this special service did not work for the company, and in 1972 Olsen sold the two Falcons to the Royal Norwegian Air Force. So, the focus was back to Cargo, and in 1974 The first of many L-188Cs joined the fleet. The 1970s and 1980s were quite good for the ailrine and by 1986 the emphasis was shifted entirely to cargo charters. In 1997 Fred Olsen's airline ceased operations.The reasons offered were the loss of maintenance contracts, and difficulties in making a profit in the Central European freight market. This repaint is of C-46 LN-FOR, one of three C-46s operated by Fred Olsen. This repaint was tested on FSX-SE. Textures are 32bit bmp. It should work on FSX, P3D v1-3, & FS2004.

| APSA '1966' C-46 |

Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is a repaint of the C-46 in Aerolineas Peruanas - APSA, 1966 colors. The freeware C-46 by Libardo Guzman and Tom Gibson is needed for this repaint. American C.W. Shelton, the owner of the Honduran carrier TAN (Transportes Aereas Nacionales), in association with two Peruvian nationals, founded Aerolineas Peruanas SA (APSA) in September 1956. Consequently, APSA began a C-46 international service from Lima (Peru) to Santiago de Chile via Autofagasta on June 17, 1957. By 1960, the company expanded its operations to Mexico City, and Panama City. Also in 1960 the CAB of the USA granted the rights to APSA to fly to Miami. However, before the rights were granted, the CAB forced C.W. Shelton to transfers his interest in APSA to Peruvian owners, as APSA was under "foreign interests" (ie. Shelton). Thus after this ruling, Shelton's airline changed hands and became a 77% owned Peruvian airline. The company entered the jet age with the delivery of its first convair 990 Coronado, which was leased, on 23 December 1963. South American expansion was undertaken in 1964 as services were launched to La Paz, Montevideo, and Asuncion. Eventually, Lima to London via Madrid and Paris flights were inaugurated during the spring of 1969 with a DC-8-52 leased from Iberia. Tragically, due to the high costs of its aircraft leases, the carrier encountered severe financial difficulties in 1970. Aditionally, the government, led by Juan Velasco Alvarado, refused to bail out APSA. Alvarado had plans to establish a state owned airline - AEROPERU, and APSA was standing in his way. Unable to overcome its massive $22-million debt, APSA ceased operations on May 3, 1971. This repaint was tested on FSX-SE. Textures are 32bit bmp. It should work on FSX, P3D v1-3, & FS2004.

File Description:
This is a repaint of the C-46 in Airlift International 1965 colors. The freeware C-46 by Libardo Guzman and Tom Gibson is needed for this repaint. My previous uploads were the of Riddle Airline's fleet. This is a continuation of that airline's affairs. Riddle Airlines faced financial difficulties and in June 1962 all services were suspended. This crisis led to a reorganization of the airline in July 1962, under an entirely new management team. Subsequently, the airline was renamed Airlift International on November 29, 1963, and the corporate takeover took effect in March 1964. Airlift, got off on the right foot as they received 31 of Riddle's aircraft. They started international operations to Rome and Milan with their solo DC-8F aircraft, with another DC-8F joining the fleet in June 1964. By 1965 Airlift was on cloud nine as they earned and a net profit of $1,744,907. In 1966 they were able to take over Slick Airways, itself a big cargo carrier. In fact, it was previously the largest all-cargo airline in the USA, in 1951. Also, in 1966 they recorded a net profit of $3 million dollars. Airlift went from strength to strength, posting profits, and enhancing the quality of their fleet. In 1967 they received L-100 Hercules, 727-172Cs, and 707-365Cs. In 1970 however, they had a downturn due to the U.S. recession, and cutbacks in Vietnam airlift operations. For Airlift the 1970s did not allow them to reach the heights of the 1960s. They battled on, but financial problems plagued them that by 1981 Airlift had no physical assets and only $44,000 in cash on hand. They almost collapsed that year, but with restructuring, and a few ups and downs, they survived until 1993, when they eventually ceased operations. This repaint is of an Airlift C-46 (N75388) which was with the airline from 1956 to 1966.Airlift International had a lot of C-46s in their fleet over the years, 48 in total. N75388 was with Airlift from 1963 to 1966. Before that it was with Riddle Airlines from 1956 to 1963. This repaint was tested on FSX-SE. Textures are 32bit bmp. It should work on FSX, P3D v1-3, & FS2004.
