About This File
FS2000 US Army Boeing C-75 military transport. During World War II Stratoliners were employed as military transports (C75's), flying principally to South America and across the Atlantic. This version contains the typical black/white stripes to identify the aircraft as friendly during WWII. The wings were replaced with B-17G wings, engines, and tail of the B-17 bomber, but with a new streamlined, pressurized fuselage.. They were then sold to Aigle Azur in France, operating to French IndoChina. Here they became involved with the Vietnam War, worked with operators such as Air Laos and were still flying into the 1960s. Features panel, all moving parts and a true FS2000 .air file with start-up and shut-down engine sounds. Original by Tom Schaad, repaint by Bob Bongiovanni
