This Four engine Turbo prop came out in Sept 1961...code named "MAY" by the CIA. an old cold war Warrior. In civilian ,patrol utilty...a Ponderous monster to fly on the Sim,much less in real world...They are still around I believe,in the employ of other nations....Na zdorovia ;D

"AVSIMrus".http://www.avsim.su/f/fs2004-origina...-38-32346.html ....

Hi Vin. Good shots of a Cold Warrior. Not exactly my cup of tea, but these newfangled jet props do spark an interest of another era in flight.
