- HISTORY ASPECTS:
- The American L-188A "Astrojet" with the registration number N6118A holds a significant place in aviation history as one of the pioneering aircraft of its time. The Lockheed L-188 Electra, introduced in the late 1950s, marked a new era in commercial aviation with its turboprop engines and advanced design. The "Astrojet" livery, characterized by its sleek lines and distinctive logo, became an iconic representation of American Airlines' commitment to modernity and innovation.
- The L-188A Electra, with its four powerful turboprop engines, offered improved speed and efficiency compared to its piston-engine predecessors. It was designed to accommodate a larger number of passengers, boasting a spacious and comfortable interior that set new standards for in-flight comfort. The aircraft's unique four-engine configuration, coupled with its distinctive appearance, earned it the nickname "Whisperliner" due to its quieter operation compared to earlier propeller aircraft.

From the intricately detailed engines and landing gear to the accurate recreation of the iconic "Astrojet" livery, it captures the essence of an era when air travel was transforming into a modern and accessible mode of transportation.
