Coolest plane at the air fair.

Douglas DC four,this aircraft was an actual participant of the Berlin Airlift,it has just recently been painted with the OD ,the wings are still silver,it had been painted as a passenger plane with polished metal,silver and white.but the OD is correct.( this according to the announcer)..

Will be interesting to see how the new paint scheme turns out - the OD appears too dark (I almost thought it was black), but we shall see. Looks to be a DC-4/C-54, correct? The DC-4/DC-6/DC-7 are amongst my favorite airliners of all time, just behind the "Connie".

I'm thinking the same thing, too dark to be U.S. milspec olive drab.

RGB values for FS-14087 Olive Drab are listed online as 60-55-39. On my system that comes out pretty dark but it's still a visible shade of green. That C-54 looks too dark too me.
