New! Douglas DC-3 Santair


File Description:
Few people realize that Santa Monica Airport, where the venerable Douglas DC-3 first flew on 17th December 1935, was named after Santa Klaus and his wife Monica.

The Man In Red was quick to spot the benefits of undertaking his yearly mission in a mode of transportation ideally suited to the task, and was one of Douglas' first customers.

"Hallmark Cards and Thomas Kincade can keep their reindeer and chimneys", he declared.

"I'm going with Pratt and Whitney. Fuel me up, elf".

And so it is today. 70 years later, if you look up into the sky on Christmas Eve ... there's every chance you'll get hit in the eye by a plummeting box, should any of Monica's hand-sewn parachutes fail to open.

Based on the default DC-3, with parachute present delivery effect adapted from the work of Pierino Primavesi.

Also features Christmas lights on the cabin top.

Merry Christmas to all!

fled

I thought his wife was named Barbara? Farther north and all.....

I haven't got the foggiest clue as to what names you all overthere at the other side of the pond give to the good man and his family members, just passed on the message what came with the aircraft


fled

LOL....sorry Fled, SoCal joke I guess......Santa Monica is a snooty beach city with garbage beachbreak IMO, and Santa Barbara is farther north and far more beautiful. I'm sure Saint Nick would choose Barbara....

Hey I still have a piece of City of Santa Monica municipal property in my basement.....not sayin' what it is but if you've seen the movie Cool Hand Luke there's a big clue at the beginning......

Anyway, back on topic, cool download!
