DS-9 Airliner

1,612 Freedom  8.6 years ago

This is for all you bozos who put together something with fuselage blocks and it turns out looking horrible. The simplicity of this plane is what makes it so awesome. Well, now I'll give you a backstory for it. This was a plane that was highly demanded in the 1960s by the U.S. Government, SUN Airlines, Arille Contintental Inc., & Pheonix Airlines for its low costs and easy control. It served as a great cargo plane and airliner and it carried almost one ton of fuel. It greatly enlarged the number of mid-air refuelers in the Air Force's arsenal. It also could be fitted with jets to increase its speed.
Some quick controls: VTOL down to raise rear landing gear. AG "1" opens the door. That's pretty much it!
