Further expanding Pan Am's historical DC-6 flights. These are not easy flights if you do choose to fly in a piston prop. Another series of routes I can't imagine flying with little to no navaids. Adds flights to TTPP (Trinidad and Tobago) in the Caribbean.
As usual, I have a lot of help with the research for these routes. You can thank Jim Daigneau for this one. I'm going to make a new rule that anyone that submits an historical route to me has to actually fly it first in the aircraft! Ha ha. I'm kidding of course.
Schedule Database: PAH
Flight Numbers: 3703-3704
Route: KJFK-TJSJ-TTPP-SBGL-SBGR-SBPA-SUMJ-SAEZ
Length: 123NM TO 2,272NM

Yet another correction I should make.... SBGR did not exist at the time of the DC-6 flights. Could you please correct this so that they go to Viracopos airport?
