Only BUA route I can find in various timetables is Gatwick to Salisbury, in a 62 timetable.
Make an interesting few days, there and back

Hi Dale, I found that same time table, (1961 actually but its identical). I noticed the first leg, London to Nairobi had technical stops in Malta and Khartoum, so I setup the routes with those as stops. So I just inserted them, starting at Heathrow (to keep the base consistent) and then Malta, Khartoum, Nairobi, Ndola, Lumaka, Harare.

We now have three DC-6's (two B's and an A), they are sitting at Kingman AZ. Should we setup the routes so we can use either version or just keep the cargo A version for charters?

Perhaps we leave it as it charter for now. Maybe we can find some cargo routes. Air Atlantique looks promising

That's strange as I read nearly all of it but then had to go out. :dunno:

OK, so that link does restrict you for some reason but if you type in Google search box Air Atlantique Douglas DC6 - key.aero it should work as it does for me!! :lol:

I don't seem to be able to see any Pan Am classic routes for the Dc6 (I was checking routes out of Heathrow) Connie and 742 and 744 are showing as available. Any ideas??
