Done in Paint SHop Pro X4 ... a B&W filter overlaid over the original screeshot with a 0 saturation adjustment layer at 67% opacity

Model: Narik Homeyer C-54 model reworked by Chris Grabow, with a Dale Deluca repaint.. FSDS2 model.

Screenshot in FS2004, 8:30PM out of Seattle, heading South. Mt. Rainier in the background. (Okay, Seattle probably didn't see many Eastern DC-4s in their heyday....)

I tried for an aged colour photograph look.

Thanks to all the kind words.

Eastern Air Lines does bring back very fond memories. Eastern was THE airline of preference as I grew up in PR. Along with PanAm and Transcaribbean, they were the main airlines servinge between PR and the US mainland. At that time (through the late '60s) Delta had a thrice weekly (or so, it wasn't daily) service between New Orleans and San Juan.

My first flights were on Eastern, to New York and Miami. If I recall correctly, it was probably a DC-6.

I'm wondering if we should post the edited screenshot, and a smaller "unedited" version so as to compare the "before" and "after" ??
