Auto Credit Based on InternationalAircraftCompany's Cockpit Help!

The Labrador was a four-engined civialian transport. It was built from 1937 to 1983 and is currently used by some companies to ship supplies. Most are still flying today. VTOL for landing gear, activators 1-4 to turn on the engines, and activator 7 to light one of the engines on fire. Credit to @BaconAircrafts for the cockpit and cabin. I will release a better version later. This is model, but you can remove the stand to fly it!

    TL;DR: a maintenance failure made a plane crash.

    August 31, 1939.

    Blue Sky Airlines Flight 218 is getting ready to head from Yeager Airport to Wright Airport. It is carrying 10 passengers and 3 crew. The pilots are Joesph Dulrikz and Richard Jeffins. Dulrikz is a very experienced pilot who started flying in WW1. The ATC Controller clears Flight 218 for take off. At 10:37Am YST (Yeager Standard Time). The plane is Suppsoed to go on a 10 minute short scenic tour of the island. Right as a the plane makes the first turn after takeoff, the number 4 engine bursts into flames. The pilots try to shut off the engine but it isn't responding. The plane takes a hard lash right, and the cabin begins to fill with screams. The Yeager ATC, many islanders, and a goat farmer notice huge flames coming from the plane. The pilots say they will try to land at Bandit ASAP. However, a plane is almost ready for takeoff, therefore they abort it. They decided to wait for the other plane to takeoff before they land, but however, they realize that the runways are too short, and only Yeager's runways are suitable at the moment. They decide to continue to circle around Krakabloa as the engine still burns. After 115 minutes of excruciating circling, the engine finally comes to rest. The engine had been destroyed, and all that was left was burnt wires and metal. They decided to take a risk, and turn around as they passed over Bandit for the 12th time. They turned around, and everything seemed okay, until they slowed down on approach to Yeager. The plane veered left very rapidly. The pilots couldn't recover, and the plane flat spinned and finally crashed in the fields surrounding Yeager. The planes sides and wings were sheered off, and 8 of the 13 people on board perished. Captain Dulrikz survived, and miraculously had only bruises on his limbs. Passenger Barry Dilmark also survived, sustaining cuts to his legs. Finally, Flight Attendant Joey Bismark survived. A Co-Pilot Jeffins also temporarily survived, but he died in the hospital later that day. The planes maintenance team was sued for "lazy work and poor concentration, leading to the rupture". What had happened was the day before, the engine had been slightly scraped from a bird bone. The team was very slacky, and they barley noticed the incident. As the engines turned on, the heat from the engines escaped through the hole and caused the fire.

    The end!

    Also, here is the official cockpit voice recording:
    Dulrikz: Alright, we are in air.
    Jeffins: Ladies and Gentlemen we are going on a 10 minute tour of Krakabloa.
    Dulrikz: What is that sound?
    Jeffins: I don't know
    Dulrikz: I think it's ju-
    [Sound of Engine beginning to flame]
    Dulrikz: Oh my God! The engine is on fire?
    Jeffins: Shut it down!
    Dulrikz: it isn't working!
    Jeffins: Da! This plane always confuses me on how it works!
    ATC: What's happening up there?
    Jeffins: The definition of Bad.
    Dulrikz: Gah, we will try to land at bandit!
    Jeffins: But a plane is taking off. We cannot.
    Dulrikz: Gah. The runway is too short!
    [2 hours pass by, all there is is casual talk and passenger comforting.]
    Dulrikz: Alright, we are almost on touchdown.
    Jeffins: Ah, it's going Left!
    Dulrikz: What?
    Jeffins: Left!
    [1 second of footage was never released, due to unsuitable content]
    Dulrikz: Flat Spin! Flat Spin!
    Jeffins: No! This isn't happening. It cant be!
    Dulrikz: Gahhhhhh - *[ The footage ends here as the plane crashes into Yeager airport] *

    The plane stayed in the air for 2 hours after the disaster happened. It continuously circled around Krakabloa while this happened.
    Oh, and yeah, there were goats! A farmer who took care of goats saw the plane as it was circling.
    If you'd want, I could comment the entire story.
