Auto Credit Based on BaconAircraft's Simple Cockpit and glass fix: Curtiss C-46

The Curtiss C-46 Commando is a transport aircraft derived from the Curtiss CW-20 pressurised high-altitude airliner design. Early press reports used the name 'Condor III' but the Commando name was in use by early 1942 in company publicity. It was used as a military transport during World War II by the United States Army Air Forces and also the U.S. Navy/Marine Corps, which used the designation R5C. The C-46 served a similar role to its counterpart, the Douglas C-47 Skytrain, but was not as extensively produced. At the time of its production, the C-46 was the largest twin-engine aircraft in the world, and was the largest and heaviest twin-engine aircraft to see service in World War II.

    @evangodden I saw a rule some where about shout outs and how your really not supposed to do them, or just to keep them to a minimum, so I don't do them so I don't run into problems with that rule, otherwise I would, sorry
