Like the DC6. Wonder if there are any Everts Air Cargo/Fuel paints for the Jensbk DC6?

I don't recall ever seeing any. In fact, I don't recall seeing any freight conversions of Jens' DC-6.

Hi Naravac,

No. there are no Everts Air Cargo/Everts Air Fuel repaints for Jens' DC-6. Jens' DC-6 is the original DC-6 version and the Everts Sixes are DC-6A or C-118A and converted DC-6B aircraft, which all have a stretched front fuselage.

However, there is a repaint at Avsim.com (dc6b_everts_fs9.zip) of an Everts Air Fuel DC-6B tanker, for which you need the DC-6B (with spinners) available at CalClassic.com.

Cheers,
Maarten

It's amazing to me that these Everts DC-6s are still going strong in this millennium. A testament to Douglas construction and Alaskans' resourcefulness.

The DC-6 is a very nice aircraft to fly and also the dc-4.
