FS2004 Futura Airlines L049 Constellation. Textures for the Lockheed L-049 Constellation by the team Roland Berger, Volker Boehme, Manfred Jahn, Luis Pallas, Bill Tyne and Stefan Werner. The company Nevada Airmotive bought TWA's L-049 fleet in 1962 for lease and/or resale them. But only five of the 25 Constellations found new operators. One of these aircraft was c/n 2075, built 1946 and delivered to Air France as F-BAZD. Sold 1950 to TWA, registration as N9414H, named "Star of Lebanon". Sold to Nevada Airmotive in 1962 and leased to Futura Airlines Inc. This company was short lived - flights started from Oakland to Lake Tahoe, but operations ceased a few month later and the Constellation went to Paradise Airlines. In 1964 she was sold to Pasco Avn. Inc. later to Zephyr Hills Inc. and stored at Miami. 1947 leased to Quisqueyana Dom. Rep. and subsequently scrapped at Miami 1970. By Manfred Meyer.
