    went to the Berlin Airlift reunion in Great Falls MT last September and had the chance to walk through a C54, the Spirit of Freedom, one of the main planes used in the Airlift.

    Steve was obviously happy with it after the first sedate circuit. Wheels up, fast pass from right to left. Excellent. Well done to all involved.

    Magnificent model. This was the first plane I flew on on as as a kid in 1966, from Cape Town to Windhoek on South african Airways. Gave us sweets to before take off to combat the lack of pressurization.

    Wow, What a beautiful C-54, stunning in fact. I sure would like to know what engines were used, and how, and what type of mufflers he used. I'm sure they were custom built, just like everything else on the model. It just flew beautifully! Congratulations to the most talented and excellent craftsman who built her. Thanks for sharing. What a pure joy to see her fly!!!!

      He used OS 33 with home built mufflers to fit them into the cowling.
