FS2004 Aerospace Traveler 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 2027, built 1945 for TWA, registration NC86506 and named "Star of Dublin Sky Chief". Sold to Nevada Airmotive in 1962 and leased to ASA Int'l and 1963 to Paradise AL. After Paradise grounded in 1964, the aircraft was stored at Burbank and in 1966 bought by Herman R. "Fish" Salmon, Lockheed's chief test pilot. He founded the "Aerospace Travelers" Travel Club and and named the Constellation "Rosa". However the aircraft was very seldom used and in 1972/73 scrapped at Burbank. Repaint by Manfred Meyer.
