There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Yeah, Tinker Belle looked great last year in her new coat of paint! It's impressive how big the Commando really is! It is almost identical in size to the Stratoliner, but with two engines. (It makes me wonder how the B-17 would have performed with a pair of 2800s vs four 1820s! There's only around an 800 hp difference.) Seven minutes left on my download.Saw my first Commando last year at Oshkosh 2016. The sound of the engines is a real experience. I was impressed on just how big this aircraft is. It was in Boeing square very close to a C-47. Two very different aircraft.
Only seven years ago. Wonder if it's still flying? It is a really attractive scheme. Imagine if they really gave the lower half a serious polishing!Possible idea/motivation for a repaint: http://www.platinumfighters.com/curtiss-c-46d
I've thought this to be one of the most attractive C-46's around.

I'm getting nothing but "jaggies" on all the panel lines. Very distracting. I don't see them in your screenshots. So I'm off to adjust graphics card settings. -d
