Thanks, guys!

Part II of the upcoming NORDAIR double feature is almost done!
Had some probs with the almost unreadable logo in this pic:
http://www.airliners.net/photo/Nordair/Douglas-DC-3/0118412/L/

I wasn't able to figure out about the lettering, which appeared to read "NCA" or "MCA". But then, some deeper research led me the way:

At
http://www.aerofiles.com/airlines-nz.html
I've found out that Nordair in 1957 became subsidiary of Maritime Central Airways. MCA! That's the clue!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maritime_Central_Airways
http://www.baaa-acro.com/Compagnies%20M/Maritime%20Central%20Airways.htm

So it wasn't too hard to create a appropriate logo.
And here she comes:

The very handsome "Nordair" letters were built completely from scratch utilizing a timetable image as a template with some handdrawn layers on top. Took about three hours to get the letters done, but I think it was worth it...

Happy birthday, DC-3!
In December, it's 75 years of this "collection of parts, flying in loose formation"! :jump:

Up to some final adjustments...

Cheers,
Markus.
 
Thank you once again for your kind feedback, guys!

Upload was done 24h ago, and AVSIM already counts 71 downloads. Our SOH librarian was (as usual) even faster - thanks, Rami! :salute:

Phew - that was it for the MAAM Goon (until further notice...). Now it's back to Rick Piper's HS.748 with the MOUNT COOK LILY waiting for release...

Cheers,
Markus.
