Flying Down to Rio

I enjoy seaplanes and flying them around Rio is one of my favorite flights. Rio was the start and stop of many seaplane routes prior to WW2. Here are 3 of my favs for these flights. The Consolidated Commodore was actually used by Pan Am from New York to Rio. The Martin 130 (by JBK) probably was used exclusively in the Pacific and the SR-45 Princess never went into service. They all look like they belong. I will be releasing a FSX native Commodore in a few days.

Sorry, PutPut. One of my favorites.... :icon_lol:
(Women dancing on airplanes, but no seaplanes I'm afraid)
All look great BTW! (Especially that SR-45 Princess in the first picture) :applause:

Looking good, PutPut!

I wish missions were easier to create. It would be fun to do some entire aiirline flights with your planes. I remember how Bill Lyons always had 'flight' files with his birds back in the old days.

Looking forward to seeing your new plane.
