Uncle Sam had a yard sale at one of his many aircraft bone yards. Due to the shape of the economy, prices were slashed sharply and I was able to come home with a few nice planes to rebuild and use for my fledgling air cargo company....US Cargo (boring name but it fit on the side of the plane easily).

At first I had my eyes on a decent C-130E, but the bottom of the horizontal stabilizers and elevators were not mapped to the texture sheet (the freeware Alphasim C-130s are the ones I am working with). So, I looked around and found a ex-USCG HC-130H that was in a bit worse shape than the C-130E due to exposure to the salt spray during search and rescue missions, but the price was right and the plane was fully mapped (not sure what happened that the C-130E did not get fully mapped). The fuselage has been restored and painted, the wings and tail are done. Need to do some repairts to the engine nacelles (and rebuild those tired old turbo props) and the central wing structure. I hope that the crew can have this bird ready by Thursday as US Cargo has it's first paid haul....carrying 30,000 pounds of building supplies from KSEA (Seattle-Tacoma International) to Anchorage, Alaska...my first multi-hour flight...5.5 hours!).

Obio, what program are you using to generate the info in you screen shot in the lower right corner by chance?
 
I use the same screenshot program. It's called Snapper. I can't remember where I got it though. Seems I googled it.
 
Snapper. It's a free screen shot capturing software. Very easy to use. It does not require an install...just unzip the package someplace where you'll remember where it is...create a short cut to the desk top. When you are ready to take a lot of screen shots, just double click your short cut, snapper starts, minimize it to the tray, fire up your sim. I have my snapper set to take screen shots when I hit the print screen button...but you can set it to what you want. You can set up a folder for all the screen shots to be stored in...they are jpg format screenshots at that.
