Stillwater Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 "In the early 1950s, United Airlines served the airport with scheduled passenger service with nonstop flights to Long Beach Airport (LGB) and direct, one stop service to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) operated with Douglas DC-3 aircraft." [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalina_Airport] So it is an easy decision on which plane to take for a short hop out of Santa Ana... Err... where is the runway? A bit too far to the right, but slow enough to correct. This guy did it better. After lunch, the regular service with PanAm was ready to return to the mainland. Meeting the coast at Dana Point, ... ... passing Oceanside, ... ... Del Mar, ... ... and into San Diego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bermuda425 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Top-of-the line choice of shotz! Ideal weather except for Catalina, which often is cloudy like nothing else... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDX Flyer Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 As far as beauty, the DC-3 may be my all time favorite. BTW, how is the frame rate in SCA? I have sort of afraid to buy it, although I do have a 4770k@4.4 and a GTX 970 vc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries with the frames in the entire region - with one exeption: In LAX area they drop down (I have FSDTs KLAX in use), so it is wise to reduce AI traffic if you go with complex planes there. And with your machine you should even be better off than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Always great to see the DC-3 with some fine scenery and skies to go with it. Strange to see it in Pan Am colours but it does look rather good in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
