Ah yes - Tasman Empire Airways Ltd , forerunner of Air New Zealand.

Nicely crafted.

& if I am not mistaken, the 2nd to bottom shot is turning in for a Northerly approach into Wellington Airport.

Where the prevailing winds are from the North West & on a good day drop below 50 mph.:)

Not quite that bad perhaps, but I can recall many landings into WLG where the white caps loomed large in blustery conditions & the Pilot's earned their salaries getting the aircraft down in 1 piece.

I would describe them as 'disco dancing' landings.

A fantastic looking plane, Jankees. Is this a Milviz or PMDG?

This is the PMDG DC-6, and the paint is here.

 

 

and I have seen some of old Buonarotti's work up close, thank you for the comparison, but I'm nowhere near his league...

lui e veramente incredibile!
