Looks good and hats off to the planning dept. But in my opinion would have looked better with a 747, or even better a 757.

The interior is full-executive type no more than 10 seats. A real beauty.

I liked this paint scheme then, and I still think it looks great. Clean and distinctive, even in this world of sophisticated graphics, "wraps" and the like.

It would have been more appropriate to use a US made airplane! AS suggested by others, a DC-3 or a 247D would have been better choices!

I’d like to have them offer a flight, in the DC-3 or B-247, on one of the original cross-country routes.
