PMDG DC-6B - Varig
Varig inherited the DC-6s from Real Aerovias (see painting available for download here) when it acquired the latter during 1961, which in turn acquired them from SAS (PP-YSI, YSJ and YSL) and Northwest (YSM and YSN), even though they were no longer the most modern equipment available, and therefore not used by Varig on international routes, they were very useful on high-density domestic destinations, serving mainly Brazil´s capitals in the south and southeast. They were removed from Varig's service in 1968 with a great service record and no accidents.

PMDG DC-6 Sleeper - SAS Scandinavian Air Systems
Here depicted the DC-6 as operated in the beginning of the operation with ABA Sweden SAS, the DC-6 were of great importance both to the consolidation of SAS during it´s early years and also to the start of the transpolar routes, due to the exceptional reliability and the gyrocompass autopilot, shortening the travel time between scandinavia and north america and far asia. Some machines were fitted in the later abandoned sleeper variant, here visible in the upper row of small windows.
