Howdy, so what planes can we be expecting next year and what do people think of them?

1955, only the DC-7A... should be a bit bigger than the L1049 hopefully... and as fast.

Theres 3 planes that come out in 1955, but the Dc-7a is likely the only headliner.

Bristol 175 Brittania 100
DeHavilland DH.104 Dove 8
Douglas DC-7a

Actually, a couple more... but I need to add them first

- Lockheed Super Constellation L-1049G
- Handley Page Herald-100
- Howard Super Ventura (which probably won't get in in time, because I can't find the range

)

in addition, the followings would pop-up as soon as I add them... which would be within hours...
- Vickers Viscount 700
- Vickers Viscount 700D
- Lockheed Super Constellation L-1049E
- CASA 201A Alcotan

The aircraft list has grown so much this past week that even I have issues keeping track of all the planes in there (esp. with all the mergers the manufacturers had back then

).

Which is better? DC-7 or new Lockheed?

Sounds like fun, guess we'll have to wait and see.

I guess many of the people here save their money for the upcoming DC-7. Lets wait and see if it will be worth it

I still order L-1049s...

That's only because we're a few decades away from the An-3T. and you know it. An-3T is the truth.

Yes. That is a classic.

I prefer Honda Jet though. Pity we can't get it in

However, the ultimate are the Aerocars (look it up if you have not idea what I am talking about) :wink:
