Request for C-47 repaints

gray eagle

SOH-CM-2025
If anyone has a copy of Frank Gonzalez' C-47 in the Monarch and Challenger airlines, would appreciate a copy. I checked with Tom Gibson over at Classic Airlines; he has some of the paints that the late
Frank Gonzalez made. I ask Mr Gibson if he would upload the two I am requesting here and was told that he would try but no guarantees. In the meantime, thought I'd check here. Thanks.

I'd Love to see these as well. I being an amateur FAL Historian (My Hometown Airline) I have a great affection for the Airlines that merged to become "FRONTIER." Did Mr. Gonzales do an Arizona Airways DC-3 as well??
 
I was just about to announce the same thing, I managed to get in touch with the custodian of these files Tom Gibson (CalClassic) and request that he upload them and it looks like he did.
One thing I noticed, is that these two liveries were done in BMP's and the aircraft.cfg entries would have to be updated to reflect the latest C-47.
On the Monarch, the Monarch Airlines lettering on the fuselage looks to be a tad blurry, wonder if there is a way to fix that so the lettering appears sharp and focused.

It looks like Mr Gonzales didn't do this one, I'll bet if he was still with us, he would of done a repaint of this one.
This would be a nice repaint.......

West Coast Air

Have been really enjoying the Manfred Jahn C-47 Beta V3.14. Have been interested in re-flying real-world DC-3 historic routes, and in particular when flying over Orbx regions (e.g., PNW, NoCal, SoCal and England, Scotland, Ireland and Germany.) Recently came across this link

http://www.timetableimages.com/ttimages/complete/complete.htm#USA

And found the West Coast Airlines routes quite interesting. Is anyone aware of a repaint for this airline?

Speaking of repaints, I've been looking for a repaint and cannot find it. The C-47 is
"Miss Virginia", N47E, based in Bridgewater, VA.
Does any one here have it? and would share?
