What an absolutely NEAT aircarft .... Mine is second hand ... by way of BEA - meaning mine is only a re-lettering of Derek Palmer's orignal. My particular aircraft operated in the bacwaters of the Amazon. Dale

Found a couple of images of the "real thing" --- and this from a charter service - Mayfair - which is in England Classic - and with more charm - I think then either the Queen or King Air

Very nice looking model. I wasn't aware that one of these was available for FS9. Thanks for the HU.

Nose wheel are training wheels. Taildragers are the real aircraft.

I downladed it tonight and got a chance to fly it around KRDU and it was a great handeling aircraft. I was thinking of doing some custom pait sceames of my own.

That is fantastic news!!! I have been so busy with wirk that it has percluded anything involved. I have found the Amazon an intesting place to fly ... several basic airstrips and a number of un-named river towns that are all part of the default scenery (the river towns are always a pleasant treat as the are very basic - much as in real life) ALL perfect for a Church here and there, perhaps a river barge or two for the port towns, etc. Ideal for both the Dove and for the river towns, either the Widgeon or Goose - For whatever reason I started just east of Coari, Brazil and have been working my way up-river (have gotten as far as Iquitos) Funny, much like "real explorers" - it is much like "exploring" the River and its backwater tributaries - all, for me at least virgin, territory. I have also "hit upon" the concept that unless it is a formal airline -- most air services would tend to be a rag-tag group that might probably tend to not only buy second hand ... but also keep the original paint and, at best, eliminate the original carries name and/or logo - with varying degrees of success - case in point - notice Amazon Air. If one owns multiple aircraft - like for me, a Dove and a Widgeon - it would be a case of mis-matched paint schemes.
