The Boeing 247
Landing Lights are Activation Group 8
This early American airliner was composed of aluminum construction and had retractable landing gear for less drag. It also had some recently made features such as de-icing boots and autopilot. Built in 1933 and a number of 75 built, this plane came after Boeing’s military designs. Their B-9 was a main basis of the design. It couldn’t fly too high since pressurized cabins were introduced 7 years after it’s release. Recently, the last flying one made its final flight. So, no more are flying. :(
I left this without a livery because I preferred the design of pure aluminum.

noice!
@ChiChiWerx yes, I originally planned to use the PCA colors, but I thought it didn't suit its age well enough, so I left it blank.
This is nice, I see you decided not to include a specific livery, opting instead for the classic bright aluminum finish.
