Panel Douglas C-124 Globemaster II
for FS2002 

Design: 
Chris Grabow & Arik Hohmeyer (with Custom Panel Designer 2.0) 
with parts/ gauges from the DC-4-6 panel by Brian Horsey (based on original panel Petros Protopapas & Stephen Grille and later modified by Tom Gibson)

This modified panel includes ATC, Map, GPS and Compass icons.

This panel was developed for our Douglas C-124 C Globemaster II (FS Design Workshop Berlin). It was designed according to a photo by DICK MADISON.

On the plane

The Douglas C-124 Globemaster II was a major redesign of the C-74 Globemaster (that was developed at the end of World War II)  with a new, much larger, two-deck fuselage. The C-124 used the same wings, tail, and engines as the C-74 and could carry more than 200 troops. It had clamshell-type loading doors, built-in double hydraulic ramps and an elevator under the aft fuselage. It could load tanks, field guns, bulldozers and trucks. 

The first flight by a C-124 took place on 27 November 1949. The first operational aircraft
were delivered in May 1950, and production ran through May 1955 (204 C-124As and
243 C-124Cs). The improved C-124C featured more-powerful engines, as well as
wingtip-mounted combustion heaters that provided cabin heating and wing and tail
surface deicing, and an APS-42 weather radar in a distinctive nose "thimble." These
latter improvements were eventually retrofitted to the C-124As. 

Because of the constant in-flight shaking, rattling, and squeaking, the C-124 was affectionately called "Old Shaky" by flight crews. 

These planes went on to provide a much-needed airlift capability in the Korean War, as
 it was the only aircraft that could carry many of the Army's vehicles. It also performed
many other missions such as airlift support in the Far East and Southeast Asia,
resupply missions to Antarctica, refugee evacuation, disaster relief, and mercy flights.
Although very reliable, the C-124s were slow (97 hours from Travis AFB, Calif., to Tan
Son Nhut AB, South Vietnam, and back). 

Used in conjunction with Douglas C-133s, the Globemaster IIs remained in service until
replaced by the controversial Lockheed C-5A Galaxy in 1970. 

By 1970, most C-124s were transferred to the Air Force Reserve and the Air National Guard. Although in production for only five years, the C-124s had a long and useful service life. The last C-124 was phased out in 1974. 

First flight: Nov. 29, 1949
Wingspan: 174 feet 1 inch

Height: 48 feet 4 inches

Power plant: Four 3,800-horsepower Pratt & Whitney R-4360 engines

VISIT FS BERLIN

The main theme of our webside is the Microsoft flight simulator (FS98/ FS2000/
FS2002) with special regards to Berlin airports - specially to Tempelhof 
Central Airport but also to Gatow and Tegel). We will cover the period from 
1945 until about 1990, that is, when the west part of Berlin was surrounded 
by The Wall and when these airports stood under the command of the west allied 
air forces (US Air Force, Royal Air Force and French Air Force). Along with the 
world-famous Berlin Airlift this is probably the most exciting period in the 
history of these airports.
We want to collect as many aircraft models as possible of such original 
airplanes which landed on West-Berlin airports (in this period) and list 
them in a comprehensive archive. And we want to repaint such aircraft models 
and offer them for downloading.
