Boeing 307 Stratoliner Pan American Airways System - PAA (NC 19903) as requested

This livery is based on the Boeing 307 Stratoliner Registration NC 19903 flown by the PANAM.

The Boeing 307 Stratoliner was the first airliner with a pressurized cabin, it could fly up to 8,000 m and the passengers did not need oxygen masks. The range was up to 3,850 km, the typical cruising speed was 350 km/h, and up to 400 km/h were possible. During the day, 33 passengers could sit comfortably, and on night flights up to 25 passengers could either sleep in places like those in railway sleeping cars or reclining seats, as they later became common in cars. And that from the summer of 1940, because the first flight was on December 31, 1938. But these were very unfavorable times for airliners, and so the few civilian aircraft built (3 for PAA, 5 for TWA, 1 for the boss of the TWA, the "Aviator" Howard Hughes) were used as C-75s by the USAAF as transporters. Presumably all Stratoliners survived the war, the French Aigle Azur operated all the former TWA aircraft on its routes to and in Indochina, plus one of the PAA aircraft, the "Clipper Rainbow".

The "Clipper Flying Cloud" remained in America and, after two restorations, found its permanent place of honor in the National Air & Space Museum, more precisely in the Steven F. Udvar Hazy Center, as the only Boeing 307 still capable of flying.

Special thanks to our member Thoar for thie idea to paint this aircraft.

Have fun to fly this fabolous aircraft 😊
