UAL FLT 79....DC-6B Red Carpet Service. Departing Oakland.  Departing San Francisco area to the West.  Cruising at FTL 180.  Passing Diamond Head....heading towards approach for RWY 4R at PHNL.  On short final for RWY 4R.   At the Gate.  Herman |

Nice. If it was Red Carpet Service it must have been before the DC-7s were delivered, at which point the DC-6Bs were converted to tourist service to Hawaii.

Yes Tom you are quite right. This particular flight listed in the Historic Airline Group website Schedules does specify a DC-7B for the Red Carpet Service. As I do not have a DC-7B available for the MS.FS2020 Operating Platform I used the available DC-6B.   Herman |

Yeah, UAL used the DC-6B in Hawaiian first class service for about 2 years or so.
A slight error in their schedule cards - United never owned any DC-7Bs, only DC-7s.
