A workhorse of the civil and corporate aviation sector for decades, the SkyBus was an uncomplicated and reliable plane. Performance was as expected of a no frills liner of the time. There were military and special variants crafted due to the ease of modification on this craft, so it made a huge impact on aviation in general. Released in the 30s and flown til the wings fell off, these flyers were pure and practical.
